Dark brown colored body. Two fingers of beige colored head, and this reduces to a creamy cap and ring. Leaves behind lacing webs.
Aroma of dark toasted malts, molasses, and some char.
Taste is darkly sweet, with dark toasted malts. Other flavors of molasses, char, and a mention of dark fruit. Charred malts continue in the aftertaste.
Slightly more than medium mouthfeel. Clean, crisp, with some tongue numbness. Very good carbonation.
Super toasty malts with some heft.
