Ink black body, opaque; thick, frothy, lasting tan head. Cocoa and dark chocolate aroma; rich brownie suggestion; twinge of spiciness; dark roasted grain. Dense, rich flavor; milk chocolate with smidgen of booziness; outstanding dark roasted grain with a touch of char; vanilla. Heavy, oily mouthfeel; viscous; slippery and oozing.

One can count on Verboten to make some incredible dense and complex dark beers. This one is no exception.

Pouring temperature: 48 °F; canning info: n/a

This is drinking like an imperial export stout to me, exxxport stout? Very dry overall with lots of roast but only moderate bitterness. Lots of semi-sweet cocoa with hints of licorice, acidic coffee, cherry, and light char. Per the can, this is 14.6% abv. Tasted blind I'd have guessed 9%, until I stood up anyway. Excellent stout.
