opaque brown, fine tan head, lots of lace, rich dry chocolate aroma, big body, rich chocolate flavor, lots of dry bitterness that leaves some chalky character in its wake, some sweetness comes in at the end to enrichen the chocolate and drive back some of the bitterness, but the initial impression remains

Dark brown. Cocoa and fudge aroma with toastiness. Starts with a nice chocolate/coffee note but gets burnt, tannic and astringent late. Has a full body and finishes dry, but it’s still a bit harsh.
