500mL bottle: Very dark brown body with short tan head which quickly dissipates. Aroma of floral hops, pronounced barley malt and notes of dark chocolate. Very bitter entry followed by sweet malt and chocolate. Aftertaste remains bitter with chocolate presence. Smooth finish, well rounded. Not overly flat with some carbonation. Good stuff.
