From the howler via the brewery in a snifter. This exceptional
RIS pours a dark blackish brown with a nice head of tan foam that
settles to a thick ring, thin dusty layer, and sports some nice lacing.
Nose of dark cocoa, dark coffee, subtle char, deep roasted malts,
and touches of dark fruits. Flavors expand nicely on the nose with
dark cocoa, dark coffee, dark roast, nicely presented char, light
vanilla notes, subtle cream, and dark fruits of black and blueberry
with warmth. Very nice mouth feel; full body, smooth, coating,
moderately slick, rich, light perfect carbonation, and a perfectly
presented bitter malt finish that is lightly creamy.
Overall-----enter this one in a contest and add to that beautiful
collection of awards over the tap handles!
Cheers
