Bottle at Winking Lizard. This beer pours a mostly clear dark brown color with a thin dark tan head that dissipates steadily. Thin rings of lacing. The aroma has a slightly smoked character, with roasted malt, coffee and chocolate behind it. Medium-bodied with flavors of malt, coffee and bittersweet chocolate, with smoke in the background all the while. The finish consists of coffee and hops with a lingering bitterness. Above average overall.
