A - Pitch black beer that shows a slight mahogany tint around the edges with tall creamy tan head that dissipates very slowly. Moderate carbonation clinging to sides of glass. 4.25/5
S - Espresso, dark chocolate, and vanilla come out right off the bat and dominate. Rich dark maltiness, roasted in character with even a hint of umami. A bit leathery as well. 4/5
T - Dark bitter roasted malt that is reminiscent of pumpernickel bread. Herbal hops finish out the flavor profile. Toffee sweetness up front with a leather and tobacco middle. Very earthy. Booziness near the end when the hops come into play. 4/5
M - Full bodied with a dry finish. Decent carbonation burn along with a drying astringency at the end. Somewhat chewy and doughy throughout. Thick but light at the same time due to the amount of hops. 4.25/5
O - Nice balance between bitter & sweet. Very strong flavors. Comes across as a meal in a glass and sits in the stomach as such. 4/5
