650ml bottle - chocolate-coated pretzels were always one of my favourite Christmas treats that my Mom always made. Sigh.
This beer pours a fairly solid black, with scant amber basal edges, and three fingers of puffy, finely foamy, and mildly fizzy brown head, which leaves some boiling witches' cauldron pattern lace around the glass as it evenly subsides.
It smells of bready and doughy caramel malt, salty 'brenztels' (shout out to my 5-year old, who is holding on to this particular speech, for some reason), bittersweet cocoa powder, faint cafe-au-lait, and some plain leafy, herbal, and floral green hops. The taste is rich medium chocolate, grainy and biscuity caramel malt, ephemeral saline solution, subtle day-old coffee grounds, and more well-understated earthy, musty, and floral hoppiness.
The carbonation is average in its palate-satiating frothiness, the body a decent middleweight, and generally smooth, with nothing really playing the role of the party pooper at this point in the game. It finishes off-dry, the cocoa and caramel malt most predominant in the lingering morass.
Overall - this comes across more like a competent Chocolate Stout, as opposed to one with a pretzel under that candied coating. I suppose what I mean is that I'd like more salty biscuit character, to fulfill the titular promise of this offering.
