Viscous jet black with a hint of garnet and barely a film of sepia.
Nose is cola and chocolate-covered espresso beans.
Blackberry, tar, dark chocolate bark, cream soda, a jagged little chili hit in the middle, and some cedar hops.
Camp coffee finish and tingly spice linger.
Medium, round, only slight fizz, otherwise dead + heavy.
Pours underattenuated and plays like it, too - no fizz, chewy for 5.5%, and too sweet, which serves to stress the cocoa and vanilla at the expense of the chili and cinnamon. Not sure what else to say; I'd like it shot full of CO2 to see what it's supposed to be about.
Right now, still a concept.
