3.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 16/20
Bottle poured a dark nutty brown in color with a thin cover of tan head that fell to a ring on the glass. Aroma has sweet chocolate, dark brown sugar, light coffee bitterness, and a hit of lactose. Mouth feel is on the light side and the carbonation average. Flavor brings in some roasted malt, dark chocolate, creeping bitterness, brown sugar sweetness, and lactose. It is definitely a big beer that brings plenty of chewy malts to the table. So much that the lactic side though it is big just can not keep up.

Black color with creamy brownish head. Nice aroma, milk chocolate and cocoa. Very nice mouthfeel, round and smooth, with a good body strength; very pleasant chocolate flavor, with moderate residual sweetness, correct bitterness, with hidden hop qualities, some resins; long and balanced final.
Very drinkable, excellent result.
3.6 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 13/20
Bottle. Deep dark chocolate-brown with a thin dark tan head. Aroma is rich and sweet, with chocolate and cream, a hint of espresso, and some burnt caramel. Body isn’t quite as big as the Dark Water beers, but is still substantial. Flavour is just a smidge too sweet, but still a good combo of chocolate, vanilla, coffee & cream, with nice notes of dark roasted coffee beans and slightly charred cocoa beans in the finish.
