BLACK - black oil is right. No head to speak of but a few bubbles can be stirred up with a little shake. Big rich raisiny nose, plums, toffee, roasty and sweet with a hint of whiskey and vanilla. Dry roasty flavor, a hint of earthiness to this. Slight burn from alcohol but blends well. Sharp on the tongue. Palate actually thin for style. Aroma is the real treat but the beer is full of flavor
