Jan 19, 2009 APPEARANCE:
Pours a dark brown color with reddish highlights and large tan head with good retention. A tiny bit of lacing.
AROMA:
Roasted malt, chocolate and a little earthy hops. Not a ton of aroma but gets better as it warms.
FLAVOR:
Similar to aroma, starts with roasted malts and finishes with the bit of dark chocolate that lingers on the sides of your tongue for quite awhile.
MOUTHFEEL:
A medium-full bodied beer that has a creamy almost chewy texture. Soft fizzy carbonation.
DRINKABILITY:
This is a very smooth beer. Not a lot of complexity but really well balanced.
