At Capital Brew fest.
This was poured into a mini snifter.
The appearance was a hazy burnt dark brown color leaning towards almost black color. Light lacing slides into the beer.
The smell had a ton of sweet dark chocolate up front and then a slight dark fruitiness doing its best to invade and amplify a really nice blend of sweetness and still letting in a nice roastiness to it.
The taste was mainly sweet through the chocolate and dark fruits yet still this one carries a nice real lightness rolling around my mouth.
On the palate, this one sat about a light to medium on the body with a pretty good sessionability about it. This one sat really smooth and creamy rolling all around my mouth and tongue. Overall, weird how I had to add this in here during a Brew fest but looking over the rest of the line up from Denali, there was nothing else that worked for this one. With that in mind, I would love to have this again.
