Schwarzbier aged in a Caffé Amaro barrel, in collaboration with Little Lager in St. Louis. Cold barrel-aging infused complex notes of pumpernickel bread, mocha, and raisin, with hints of malt-driven caramel and oaky cinnamon.

Look - Pours a solid black color with a very nice head that lasts.
Smell - Heavy malt, and what I'm guessing is the Caffe Amaro coffee liqueur. It's quite interesting, and fairly nice.
Taste - Malt, mocha, and raisin.
Feel - Though the taste is decent, at only 4.6% is feels a little weak, almost watery for someone who typically drinks stouts at 12%-20%+ABV. But it's got a decent flavor, and it's certainly one of the better stouts I've ever tried at that low ABV.
Overall - I was very curious to try a beer that was rated 4.27 on Untappd (no ratings on BA yet), and has only 4.6%ABV. I think it's quite good.
