6 oz. pour on tap at the brewery. Opaque, inky black, nice viscosity. Aroma is strong vanilla, fudge over roasted malt, subtle alcohol undercurrent. Taste mirrors aroma. Smooth, thick texture, full bodied, finish as taste. There is sooo much to like here, and I really want to like it, and the alcohol almost comes off as bourbon barrel aged, but not quite. Slightly off putting.

Pours a dark, thick, cola-black, with rather small head that dissipates rapidly. Aromas are chocolate, licorice, molasses, dark fruit. Flavors all follow. Sweet, but not cloying. Very smooth, soft mouthfeel. ABV is fairly well-hidden.
