4.02/5  rDev -1%
look: 4.5 | smell: 4.25 | taste: 3.75 | feel: 4.25 | overall: 4

Appearance: Pours with a bubble show that lifts a two finger head to top off the coffee colored liquid; good retention and lacing action

Smell: Freshly baked dark bread with hints of chocolate, coffee and toffee

Taste: The chocolate and toffee flavors dominate the front end with a hint of coffee in the middle; the bready tones detected in the aroma don't quite make it through the sweeter elements, so the finish is slightly cloying

Mouthfeel: Medium to full body with moderate carbonation

Overall: I guess if you are going to brew a double Schwarzbier it is likely to end up rather sweet; interesting concept but I would prefer more of a dark bread character and a dryer finish
