32oz howler I brought to a tasting. Maybe this brought out a little too late. This was my first rating: Aroma is dry papery. Some green and roast. Flavor or has some licorice and a dry and bitter roast.. Def not 3x choco 737315. Then I feel asleep on solidfunk's couch. Woke up at 5am and took an Lyft back to my hotel. Next day me and my lady finished off the other 26ozs. I did get a bit more chocolate but its was not a big or sweet tooth beer. I'd drink this again.
