This one pours a very dark black color, with a small head, and a little bit of lacing.

This smells like slightly peppery coffee, and just generally sweet chocolatey malt.

This is kind of perplexing. The coffee isn’t full blown pepper mode yet, but it’s on its way to that, soon. I don’t really get much coconut or vanilla here. It’s just generally sweet, and very muddled, with a confused flavor profile. It’s just kind of chocolatey sweet, and vague, and boring.

This is simultaneously heavy but bland, which you don’t see very often. It’s just way too muddled, and almost stale tasting.

This series is usually banger after banger, but this was a major letdown.
