Bottle... This beer rocks!… Pours midnight black with a small, fat bubbled, khaki head. Decent retention. The nose furnishes fudge, pouch tobacco, fruity jam, walnut shell, a splash of red wine and a touch of alcohol. Full-bodied and oily with only a trace carbonation. The chocolaty, fruity-jam flavor is plenty sweet and quite interesting. Lots of pleasant esters and phenols here. Finishes with dark fruit and a swirl of mocha. Amazingly, the relatively high alcohol content of this beer is not at all overbearing. Kudos to 50belair for sharing this world class bottle of brew!
