Pours a brownish black, with a a fluffy head that is off white. the aroma is coffee, caramel, and malt with nice lacing. Strong coffee flavor, and a mild hop at the finish, this is a good brew. would recommend

Courtesy of Sammy. It’s transparent black/brown with a red hue and a creamy head. The aroma has notes of chocolate, roasted malt, dark fruits, licorice and light sweetness. The flavour has sweetness and a light dry and roasted bitterness, notes of chocolate, roasted malt, coffee, dark fruits, slightly bitter licorice and the finish is dry. It’s nice and uncomplicated.
