This beer pours very dark with a thick, creamy head. It is nearly impossible to see through in a glass. It smells of sweet malt and the taste is much the same. It has a lot of good malty flavor with a little roasty chocolate and coffee flavor around the edges. The main complaint I have about this beer is that it left my mouth feeling very pasty.
