Bottle share at Blacked Out Friday. Thanks to whoever brought this one! Pours a mostly clear toffee color with a small white head that dissipates. Aromas of milk chocolate, coffee and creamer dominate. Smooth on the palate with an easy drinking finish that hides the ABV.

500 bottle c&c from HI-Time. Pours translucent copper with beige head that was slight. Aroma is sour and woody. Not getting cocoa. Med plus body. Flavor is citrus sour and woody with just a touch of cacao. But then when the fluids wash away some chocolate actually does come out. Sour is the main thing. Chocolate just helps to take the edge off the sour.
