Appearance: let’s call it … black with a tan head that has some good lacing.
Aroma: at first whiff what the heck roasted rubbing alcohol? It is not a big nose but, there is some kind of roasted slightly burnt wood or maybe a touch of charcoal.
Flavors and Mouthfeel: moderate carbonation feel with a medium body. Roasted malts and grains on the aftertaste with a lingering slightly burnt feel. With each sip I like the taste a little more but, I still dislike the aroma.
Seems to one dimensional in taste.
My Strength Rating: 5.5 – for the slightly roasted taste I gave it an extra .5
This beer reminded me that I have not had some good black beer in a while.
