Glossy black with a dark tan to brown head that starts tall but quickly fizzles out while condensing to an espresso crema and dispersing to a short quarter pipe.

Fairly smoky campfire meets gooey chocolate and nutty oak making for a sort of Snickers s'mores while finishing bone dry, semi-bitter and boozy.

Cacao blooms more as it warms, along with a hint of dark fruit.
