AROMA: Slightly sweet with mild scents of brown sugar and malt. As the beer warms I start to get moderate scents of coffee and dark chocolate.

APPEARANCE: Pours an opaque black with a 2-finger, dark tan head that dissipates at a moderate pace, with moderate lacing.

TASTE: Slightly bitter with strong flavors of unsweetened dark chocolate and bold espresso. From the aroma, I was expecting something a little sweet, but the flavor is mostly a mild bitterness. The finish is slightly dry with a hint of milk flavor.

MOUTHFEEL: Medium-bodied but leaning towards full-bodied. Smooth and slightly creamy with above-average carbonation.

OVERALL: Honestly, this beer reminds me of a Guinness with the only differences being that the Guinness has a slightly smoother texture and has a touch of sweetness. Which is probably why I find myself really liking this beer.
