Appearance: Pours pitch black and capped by an inch or two of tan foam; squiggles of lacing linger
Smell: Roast, chocolate, ginger and lime
Taste: Roast and chocolate forward with ginger and lime building through the middle; the spices linger into the finish though the malts diminish
Mouthfeel: Medium body with moderate carbonation
Overall: A really interesting concept and I very much like the idea; I can't help but think a bigger malt bill would have served this beer better as the mouthfeel lacked body (for the style) and the malts were overwhelmed by the spices in the finish
