3.8 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
Dark pour with a little bit of off white head. A very malty smell with a little bit of chocolate and earthiness. A hot taste with some bakers chocolate, cocoa, coffee grounds a little bitter towards the finish. Decent but I don't care for the earthy undertones.

Pours pitch black with head that disappears fast. Full bodied beer, with chokolate, roasted barley and coffee sticking out. Great beer, but mixed with Yang it becomes truly outstanding.
