Appearance - 8 | Aroma - 7 | Flavor - 6 | Texture - 6 | Overall - 7

Reviewed from notes.
The appearance was a mostly dark brown close to black color with a film of a white frothy head that fell off fairly quick. Lace? It’s somewhat there, somewhat speckled and falling part very quick.
The aroma had a roasty dark and milk chocolate blend lightly touching some coffee tones. Light earthy/grassy sort of hops.
The flavor leaned towards the roasty portion of those chocolate bits. Earthy/grassiness seems to fade a bit here. Some aftertaste of the chocolate bits, light but rugged. Not much of a finish.
The feel was about a medium on the body with some ruggedness to this one. ABV felt as projected with some of that ruggedness playing against the smoothness.
Overall, well, I didn’t mind this one so much to me, but I can guess a fair amount of people might complain about the texture of this one feeling slightly like a stout.
