SAMPLE 150 ML at a tasting. Chocolate glazed marshmallow, cocoa powder, chocolate truffles. Similar taste - big sweetness, marshmallow, creme brulee and loads of cocoa powder, which provides a mild bitterness that blend with a very light hops. Sweet and candy-ish, but enjoyable if you’re ready for a desert.

Not quite on tap yet (website listed it and I came specifically for it) so the wonderful bartender asked the brewer when it'd be ready. The brewer was more than happy to pour me a glass directly from the tank. Pours black. Aroma of dark chocolate and coffee. Taste is dark chocolate, a hint of bourbon, roasted coffee beans. Tasty and well worth the trip. And heck of customer service! ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone
