Pours like dark chocolate milk with a tall lasting head thats rest like a pancake for the duration of the session.Highly aromatic smelling like bitter cocoa and roasted coffee beans. Full and viscous with superb carbonation giving this a creamy mouthfeel. Flavors of roasted coffee intertwined with bitter cocoa with only a touch a sugar. This brew is rich and fattening while retaining sublime sense of balance. The finish leaves a lingering chocolate roasted chestnut essence. Excellent brew.
