Tasted at the Cigar City – Swamp Head tap take-over event. It pours deep dark void with mocha head. The aroma is big with bold levels of roasted malts as well as some meaty dry chocolate notes, vanilla and black strap molasses at the end of the draw. The taste is just as bold with smooth rich maltiness rolling into dark roasted malts, dark roasted coffee, chocolate brownie and booze infused spicy black strap molasses into the finish. Just plain old yummy.
