Can from Corti Bros. Pours dark brn/blk with a monstrous Guinness pour that turned foamy - dark tan color. Aroma of chocolate, dark roast malt and something nutty. Approaching full bodied. Flavor is the aroma and the chocolate is very strong. Not dry/not sticky. Burnt malt bitterness. Heat isn't really an issue. Good stuff.

Draft. Black beer with a tan head. Chooclate aroma. Chocolate and light mineral flavor with light dark fruits. Medium bodied. Chocolate and light mineral notes linger.

Pint can - mostly black pour (a bit ruby around the edges) with a moderate tan lace - nose is toasty and smoky, touches of espresso, with some sweet notes of vanilla and cream - creamy texture - fairly sweet, but has balancing roast and acidity - vanilla, chocolate, espresso, hazelnut - finishes a tad smoky, with moderate dark malt bitterness and a bit of alcohol warmth - a little rough around the edges, but a fair rendition.
