Pours opaque black with a multfinger reddish tan head. Aromas of chocolate and dark fruit. Near full bodied with creamy carbonation. Heat is mildly detectable. Flavor is dark fruit, coffee, chocolate, maybe cherry. Lots going on here. Takes awhile, but some smokiness arrives. Finishes more dry than sweet. Much more. It’s a really good drink.
