UPDATED: NOV 24, 2010 Bottle. Pours oh so dark with a creamy medium-sized tan head. Aroma and flavor are wonderfully complex: bitter and milk chocolate, a bit of coffee, some licorice, a touch of bitterness (mostly from the roast), some aromatic hops. Understated sweetness. Finishes dry. Creamy mouthfeel. One to savor.
