I'm just excited about the collab. It's like a nutty Guinness.

22oz bottle. Poured a dark brown color, cola color perhaps. Fizzy slightly off-white head. Tasty hoppy Schwartz which is better than most black IPAs. Crisp malt notes, light chocolate roasted malt character. Pretty drinkable.

Release #1, 5,5% ABV, DEN: 2263 Deep dark brown coloured body with a nice rich black glow and a dense, three to four centimetre tall tan head. Aroma of rich roasted malt, a touch of light smoke, burnt sugars and a lot of pungent hops. Medium-bodied; Strong rich roasty flavours throughout with a smooth bitter hoppy note, some herbs and grassiness and a light sweetness. Aftertaste is robust, complex and fairly fragrant - nice and pungent. Overall, a very nice beer with a great full flavour, nice layered flavours and a smooth complexity. I sampled this 65 cL bottle purchased from Whole Foods in Alexandria (Old Town), Virginia on 13-June-2015 for US$7,99 sampled in my hotel room here in Alexandria, Virginia on 29-August-2015.

Brown sugar, with faint wood, coffee, and pine aromas. Mahogany, thick tan with good retention. Charred oak, pine, heavily roasted malt and maybe some unmalted grain. Medium body, easy carbonation. Not really all that hoppy. I suppose I expected this to be like an India Black Lager if such a thing existed. Tastefully done and enjoyable.

Draft. Clear brown color, light maroon tint, off white head. Aroma of lightly burnt toast. Taste has decent roast with a subtle edge of smoke, light to medium body. Not bad.
