The dark caramel, large dense headed brew, with its 8.8% alcoholic content, is unique due to its sweet notes of chocolate and coffee interspersed into a foundation of dark roasted barley. Symbolic black to denote leadership, power, focus and strength, is dominant in the labeling as the lion journeys in the twilight unafraid, unbowed and unchallenged.

Can (best by 9/24--looks like born 8/25/22) pour from Total Wine & More, Burlington. It's an opaque dark cola brown--virtually black--with no sparkle, light viscosity, finger-width beige head quickly fading to a ring and no lacing. Aroma is a strong earthy roasted malt with chocolate and hint of anise and coffee. Taste mirrors aroma. Mouthfeel is medium bodied with smooth texture, average carbonation and crisp finish as taste. Overall, decent complexity and nice balance. A pleasant surprise!

330ml bottle into pint glass. From Beer Cartel. Very very dark brown beer with a thin beige head. Nose is sweet milk chocolate. Slight fizz, lots of coffee in the finish. Some lingering sweet fruit residue. High alcohol stout, nothing special.
