Jan 22, 2009 1pt 0.9oz bottle. Pours a brown so dark it is nearly black. Medium off white head which quickly dissipates. Strong aroma of caramel malts with coffee and chocolate notes. Considering the dark color and strong aroma, the beer is surprisingly light and crisp. Toasted coffee and a hint of chocolate with a sweet finish. A delicious beer, although lighter on flavor than the back of the bottle claims.
