Aroma: Big coffee aroma with dark roasted malt lingering through.
Appearance: Dark brown in color, Clear with a thin head.
Flavor: Big coffee flavor this also still had the malt and light spices for added flavors.
Palate: Dry Coffee Finish, with a Good Mouthfeel.
Overall: This was a very impressive brew. Loved the flavor and it was not too over the top with flavor. The actual malt was still getting through.
