Can, 7.77% ABV. Says it's barrel aged but I guess this is the same thing. Dark brown, a tan head settles to a fat coat. Aroma of chocolate, some earth and chicory, coffee, raisins. No big wodge of malt. Really quite light bodied, vertiginous bottom fermented palate. Some dried and stewed fruit, less earth and more mocha than suggested by the aroma. Not all that sweet with a swerve towards dry and fairly bitter at a finish that's spicy with pepper and vanilla (maybe that's oak). Lacks a bit of grunt for what is getting on to being a pretty strong beer, but I liked it.
