6.2% abv
12oz bottle
$15.00 for a 12 pack sampler
Appearance: pitch black body with a small (1/4 inch if that)
light tan head; spot here and there for lacing
Aroma: mild-moderate toasted grains; not much else after
that
Flavors: coffee comes through in the taste front and center;
dark roasted grains; roasted chestnut and black walnut; 90% dark chocolate like
bitterness on the back;
Mouthfeel: low carbonation; dark toasted flavors coat the
palate; dark chocolate bitterness; medium-full body for a stout; not syrupy; lingering
roasted notes and bitterness on the aftertaste
To the Point: if you like dark roasted flavors this is it;
to me it almost comes across like a big time Nut Brown in its flavors and
mouthfeel; the nose was disappointing; the flavors did not disappoint;
