2018 notes: Deep, dark brown, under a creamy tan head. Leaving a little lace. Lovely.

In the nose: soft, malty, caramel-toned, mild, with minor cocoa notes. Nice enough.

In the mouth: Chocolate-y, malty goodness aplenty, with a cool sprinkle of hop bitterness. Medium bodied, bordering on full, rich and delicious. I'm liking this one a lot. Is it a "Black IPA", a porter, a stout? No, it's it's own thing, and I can dig it. Nearly sessionable, and altogether likable. Roasted malt, a little toasty, notes of espresso and dark fruit. So tasty, and definitely downable.

Another must-try Oliphant beer. If you see it, don't hesitate: Drink one. Do it.

Crowler from the store. Pours a nice chocolately brown color with tan-ish colored head. Sweet bread, caramel malt, and a light hint of cocoa on the nose; follows onto the palate. Medium bodied. Finishes with more sweetness, and a nice touch of chocolate.

Poured from a 32 oz can.

Appearance - Looks black to me. Light brown head, decent enough retention.

Aroma - Semi-sweet chocolate, raisins, and a faint grassy note.

Flavor - Bready, malty, lightly chocolatey and raisiny with a lightly bitter bite.

Mouthfeel - Very smooth, not oily but almost. Medium carbonation.

Overall - A very nice, drinkable beer. It's like Bender, but darker.
