Oily black, no head. There’s a ton of raisin and cocoa on the nose. Vanilla and figs as well. this beer starts with a big chocolate, oaky and espresso taste. like this starts insanely nice. In the middle, the raisin and tawny port picks up and the finish is no chocolate and it’s a boozy port wine with sweet herbal notes and sort of falls flats. Man, this beer starts so great It’s redeemed a bit on a heavy mouth swish. Insanely sweet but too sweet considering the ABV. IDK

Bottle shared by Corbit, thanks! Pours black with a dark brown head that dissipates completely. Aroma has notes of rich dark sweet grains with sweet dark chocolate and a hint of vanilla. Flavor has more vanilla with dark grains and a bit of raisin and dark chocolate.
