Draft. A pitch black beer with a lazing brown head. The aroma has notes of roasted malt. The flavor is sweet with notes of roasted malt and soy sauce, leading ot a dry roasted finish.

Sampler at Breakwater. Was told "Vladimir" was the potential name for this RIS. Pours pitch black, mocha head. Aroma, lots of malts, coffee chocolate, nose is just covered with nice coffee roast. Taste, toasted malts, chocolate malts, finish is still chocolate, not overly bitter remains smooth. Some toffee, boozy and stays very easy to drink, dry finish with some faint hops that can be noted here and there. This is some pure goodness.
