dmac (3175) - Toms River, New Jersey, USA - FEB 3, 2013
12oz bottle from a mixed 12pack. Poured a dark Tootsie Roll chocolate brown with a smaller foamy beige head. Aroma is loaded with peat, earth, smoke and booze. Medium body with average to stronger carbonation and a long lingering after taste. Flavor isn’t quite as boozy as the aroma but loaded with peat and earth, some bad chocolate notes, wet toast and finishes with a touch of malt sweetness. Not bad.
