Here is a father’s toast to his son. Brewed with cocoa nibs and lactose, Hunter boasts a creamy texture and rich chocolate flavor. Vanilla, roast, and caramel sweetness are met with a bright hop bitterness. Complex enough to pair with dinner or dessert. Suave enough to skip the meal altogether. A chip off the old block, alright.

Can into a snifter showing oily, viscous, thick pitch black with no head. The nose shows a light lactose sweetness with notes of roasted malts and dark chocolate. The palate is surprisingly light bodied and lightly carbonated. Light lactose sweetness with flavors of dark chocolate, lightly roasted coffee, and a lovely dark chocolate bitterness.

16oz can pours a muddy, opaque black with some foamy, brown head that faded fast. Nose has burnt toast, heavy molasses, black pepper, some tar, some cinnamon. Flavor is sweet with molasses and licorice and caramel, a little cinnamon, some condensed cola, some soy/umami notes. Full bodied, sweet, sticky finish.

No head, limpid near-black beer; end of bottle solid yeast. Chocolate, cacao, sweet liqueur. Ink, chocolate, wood, wry - especially in the finish and aftertaste. Faraway sweetness, chocolate-y. Some Asian herb, and incense, once warmed up, making it better indeed. Lean MF, bit empty despite some viscosity. Compared to the Vertical Series offshoots, not very interesting, bit poor. Thanks for sharing, guys!

Bottle. Fruity, sweetish cocoa aroma. Black colour. Small stable dark brown head. The flavour is sweet with a vinous note and a lot of coffee. Very late very powerful coffee note. Spicy finish, quite sweet, actually. Late bitterness, even seems to have a mild hop bite. Gets a bit too sweet for me after a while.
