Bottle. Color: Black, light brown head. Aroma: Roasted malt, sweetish, boozy vinuous notes. Taste: Roasted malt, smooth mouthfeel, some coffee notes, very subtle vinuous and sweetish PX notes. Full body, below average carbonation. Over moderate sweet, moderate bitterness, going to above moderate at finish. Bit warming and boozy mouthfeel. Bitter and roasted finish. Ok, base beer focus on the roasted malt and not as sweet as a lot of Stouts nowadays, fortunately, but I was hoping for a little more presence of the PX.
