Strong in both flavor and aroma. Intense dark malts balance the bitterness from hops.

Glossy black with a thin but supple tan head.

Last pull off the beer engine! As such, feel is super velvety, softening what is an old school hoppy, piney, licorice, molasses Yeti-like stout, while espresso comes out in the exhale. Roasted almond and 100% dark chocolate come out in the bitter finish.

Damn I didn't realize they've been using a beer engine this whole time, I'll need to keep an eye out!

Having a fresh draft pour, as opposed to a cask pull, is even more impressively bold and hoppy, as woody, piney bitterness stays shy of Yeti-like cedar, instead tasting more like DORIS, but even more into black IPA, while also stronger and roastier than one might be, giving licorice, molasses, cigar and a hint of smoke.

In your face.
