Keg at MBCC 2018 Red (session Trois), 11/05/18. Black with a decent tan head. Nose is sweet malts, toffee, vanilla, mellow barrel. Taste comprises coffee bean, light spice, chocolate, toffee fudge. Full bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close with a balanced boost. Decent enough impy ... drinks below the hefty ABV but I'd have liked more coffee presence.
