Reviewed from notes.
Can to mug.
Appearance: black in color with a finger and a half's worth of off-white foamy head which dissipated nicely to leave some light lace
Aroma: briney/salty tones up front, black coffee roasty tones and a light earthy dark maltiness; super light dark chocolate far down in there
Flavor: roasty and earthy initially then a light briney/salty tone slides in; finishes roasty and bitter through the coffee and dark chocolate
Texture: light to medium bodied, somewhat sessionable, sly smoothness but a good dose of dryness on the tongue
Overall: well, the briney/salty tone was in the aroma but where did it go in the rest of the beer? Weird but I believe I still could come back to this.

Can, from Malt & Mold. Pours inky dark brown with small foamy tan head, mocha aroma, low carbonation, medium bitter coffee taste, smooth oily mouthfeel, long medium bitter finish. Tasty.
