341ml bottle, leftover from last year's calendar.
A: Headless and black.
S: No head = less aroma. Still, there's coffee, licorice, burnt sugar.
T: Sweet. Cookies and molasses and coffee.
F: The carbonation level doesn't seem quite right, and it wouldn't hurt if it were a bit heavier.

341ml bottle, day 11 of the 2016 Seasons Greetings holiday mixer from Parallel 49 and Central City - dessert before dinner - hey, I'm an adult (sort of), so I can do that, yay!
This beer pours a solid black, with some loose basal red cola edges, and one very skinny-ass finger of wispy and it's gone beige head, which obviously leaves nothing in the way of lace around the glass in the process.
It smells of bittersweet cocoa powder, gritty and grainy caramel malt, black licorice, real vanilla extract, ladyfingers, English cream, and some plain leafy, earthy, and floral green hop bitters. The taste is bready and pastry-forward caramel malt, milk chocolate, vanilla cookies, cafe-au-lait, a touch of dry nougat, anise spice, and more understated earthy, weedy, and grassy verdant hoppiness.
The carbonation is fairly tame in its meek frothiness, the body a decent medium weight, and sort of smooth, as both some indeterminate bitterness (ok, it's probably the hops) and lurking booze astringency take things down a notch or so from the ideal. It finishes well off-dry, but not nearly as sweet as I might have been expecting - Tiramisu, all right.
Overall, this is a generally well-made approximation of the Italian restaurant staple dessert - chocolate, vanilla, sugary biscuits, and some gentle warming alcohol. It's not exactly seasonal fare, but somehow it works - parse it, and you'll see why.
