Served in: Pint Glass
Size: 550 ml
ABV: 5.0%
Appearance - Virtually black in color, with a hint of amber in the light. A thick, foamy head of a light coffee color.
Smell - Smells of malty chocolate, and though there is definitely something else there, I can't quite pick it out..
Taste - Roasty malt and some dark fruit flavors (black cherry?) up front, followed by a slightly bitter, dry, coffee finish. Surprisingly there is a bit of hoppiness mixed in with the malt.
Mouthfeel - Mildly carbonated, with a thin texture and medium-full body. Dry on the finish.
Overall - Definitely enjoyed this beer, and it would make a great session beer at only 5.0% ABV. The flavors are enjoyable and mesh well with the mouthfeel and body. That being said, there was not as much depth/complexity as I had expected or would have wanted. Overall I would give this an 86- good but not fantastic, worth a try though!
