Aug 4, 2008 500 ml. Nearly opaque mahogany with a half-inch of creamy lasting foam above. Nice frosting on the pint glass. Earthy-spiced chocolate, caramel, blackberry and raisin aroma is delicious. Flavor follows aroma but with some added dry-side ballast of hickory wood, ash and char. Nice aftertaste of cocoa, chalk and slight cherry. Medium-heavy body is one of the smoothest ever. This brilliant session beer is just watery enough to keep from being sticky and has a nearly chalky finish.
