Used motor oil black with a densely creamy, chocolate milk looking head that dies to a thin chain.

A slightly syrupy but intensely chocolatey yet woody roast is sliced by a super spicy, boozy slap-yo-mama heat before a forgivingly pleasant maple-molasses exhale. The second visit is surprisingly easier to sip and swirl on the palate, with a nutty, sweeter oakiness gliding into that infinitely chocolatey middle. As it warms, vanilla espresso notes develop.

This has a fairly smoothly thick body, much moreso than I expected, with a fine, crackly carbonation that comes to a sharply bitter and dry finish, reminding me of the old Yeti series, but with much more booze and barrel.
