Black; mostly headless. Lightish body. Big and roasty notes of burnt toast. Strong black licorice. Extremely smoky, so much so that I couldn’t finish it. Very little sweetness to complement its sharp edges. A lot of balls, but very little sensitivity.

Draught. Pours black with a small, rocky, light brown head, lasting with good lacing. Aroma is heavy malt (molasses, chocolate, coffee), average hops (herbs, grass), average yeast (leather) with notes of smoke and charcoal. Medium bodied, oily texture, average carbonation, and a chalky finish. Average duration, moderate sweetness, light acidity and bitterness.

on tap-pours a tan head and black in color. Aroma is coffee, dark malt. Taste is coffee, licorice, dark malt, nice. OK carbonation.

Pour is light caramel sort of ruby brown with thin off white head...smell is weak and toasty...taste is weak with light coffee and toffee notes...weak...

Draught. Body is dark brown to black. Aroma is moderately malty (roasted grain, chocolate), lightly hoppy (herbs). Flavor is moderately sweet, lightly bitter. Finish is lightly sweet, moderately bitter. Medium body, watery texture, lively carbonation.
