32oz growler I picked up at Whole Foods in Falls Church. Pours an opaque black with some foamy, brown head. Nose has a lot of molasses, toast, some earth, cocoa nibs, licorice, some umami, some dried fruit, raisins, currants. Flavor has some soy, roasted mushroom, a flick of smoke, molasses, licorice, toast, some mild fruit, a little dried blueberry, some cherry, some raisin, caramel. Full bodied, dry finish. Very interesting.
