A dark ominous looking beer pours from the tap giving a medium to light tan head with good retention. The beer is blacker than the aces of spade and opaque. The head was creamy and billowy with good retention.

Nose: Rich roasted malt, iodine, earthy, biscuity, caramel, chocolate, coffee, and some yeasty notes.

Taste: Roasted malt, earthy, sea, iodine, earthy, biscuit, caramel chocolate, and some yeasty notes.

Mouthfeel: Thick creamy full bodied beer, with good amount of carbonation, and a medium finish.
