Bottle thanks to Kenny. It pours near black with a medium body head. The aroma is rich roasted malt, chocolate, cookie dough, chocolate doughnuts, candy, fruit cake and earth. The taste is smooth, mellow bitterness, roasted malts, charred pine, touch of alcohol, cocoa, peppery spice and some soapy citrus with lingering bitter finish. Medium body and moderate, foamy carbonation. Nice aroma, but taste is a touch soapy. Decent overall.
