I am trying a can of this beer whilst at my bestie's house in Charlotte, NC. It poured an opaque dark with thin tan ring head that is not leaving much lace. The scent had imperial Russian flare and dark chocolate notes. The taste was nicely balanced and easy to drink with roasted malt base and dark chocolate highlights. The mouthfeel was medium in body and had good carbonation. Overall it is a solid beer.

A: dark black, with a creamy brown head.
S: roasty, but but getting a wine lot more.
T: slight chemical taste, lots of bitterness, perhaps a touch of licorice.
M: medium thick, with moderate carbonation.
O: rough. Hopefully it'll mellow as it warms.

Served in a teku glass from the can.
Appearance: Dark thick black color with medium to strong bubbles to the body with a dark tan head rising about half of one finger's length off the body.
Smell: coffee aroma coming off a touch like roasted espresso beans but a little light for my nostrils.
Taste: Dark bitter coffee with hints of pale malts and deep molasses feel.
Mouth: Sticky body coming off a bit dry with a medium to heavy carbonation.
Overall: Great beer which reminds me of Even More Jesus from ET, complex yet a touch sweet needs no tweaking. Salud!
