This is by far the darkest-colored, most opaque beer I have ever tasted. It looked like I was pouring Texas crude into a glass. But don't let its appearance deter you.

It has a pleasant chocolate and nutty smell and is as thick as you expect a 14.8% ABV stout to be.

I was blown away by the powerful chocolate flavor combined with a more subtle nutty sweetness that made the entire glass very drinkable.

Would definitely drink again.
