Appearance: solid blackness, under a rich, cocoa-toned head, about a 1/4", lasting long, looking beautiful.
Aroma: grassy hop notes first, with citrus notes shining, too.
Bright and glorious, but soon swallowed up by dark malt flavors.
Taste: Hop bitterness never leaves, never flags, stays strong on the palate. Some espresso, some anise, a little molasses. Too delicious. Full-bodies, long, malty/hoppy finish, intensely flavorful. Just delicious. Well, not just. There's more. Wait, more? What more do you want? Rich, intense, satisfying, deep, and, yeah, delicious. Again, what more do you want?
So, that's my question, and I think to myself, "that covers it." There's chocolate and hints of coffee in the flavor, richness in the malt, an unending hop bitterness attack, just about everything you want in a "black ale."
"Just about"? What else do you want? ….here we go again...
