3.8 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Bottle shared by Tmoney99. Pours dark brown in color with a minimal off white head. The aroma is roasted malts and big strong coffee with chocolate and lightly smoky notes. The flavor has everything that the nose has, but it is better. The coffee and roasted malts are quite tasty. Chocolate and perhaps a hint of some dark fruit enhance the overall, but this is a coffee beer. Medium bitterness to the finish, medium plus body. This one got better with each taste.
