The_Beer_God (2859), Newport News, Virginia, USA Jul 7, 2007 From a growler. Pours black with a small tan head. Nose is dark chocolate, chocolate malts and roasty malts, and soft coffee. Taste is big coffee and dark chocolate with huge roasted malt notes. Since this is a barbecue place brewing this, I imagine this would be smashing with some sweeter barbecue sauces. Body is medium and creamy with soft carbonation and light lingering bitterness. Finishes with more dark chocolate notes, coffee, and roasted malts. Bit of burnt caramel and faint smoke as well. Nice!
