Served on tap at the brewery in a goblet.

Look: Black, with a small ring of tan foam that lingered and topped very finely-bubbled lacing.

Nose: Coffee cake and raisin.

Mouthfeel: Thick and smooth, adequate carbonation.

Attack: Alcohol rather overwhelms the roast, followed by chocolate and sweet raisin.

Finish: Perhaps a bit of licorice (?), followed by a little bitterness from the roast. Alcohol warms on the way down.

Overall: A full-bodied sipper. The alcohol rather overwhelms the roast, detracting a bit from balance for this style.
