Can. A- Dark chocolate, subtle roast, vanilla. A- Black color, black liquid, brown head. T- Fudge, vanilla, roasty, faint black pepper, touch of wine barrel. P- Full body, thicker texture, average carbonation, balanced finish. O- This is a huge beer but certainly doesn't feel like it. Dark chocolate fudge is the primary flavor, nice vanilla notes as well. Not sure I really get the peppercorn, although there is a slight mouth numbing sensation that I wonder if it comes from the schezuan peppers or if I'm crazy. A very good collab that not near enough people will ever get to enjoy.

16 oz. Aroma is cocoa, raisin, vanilla, peppers, caramel, licorice, coffee. Pours inky black with a one finger tan head with great retention. Taste is pretty sweet, lightly tart, with flavors like the aroma descriptors. Alcohol is somewhat masked--tastes like it could be in the 9 or 10 % range rather than 14.8%. Perfect velvety mouthfeel. Great beer.
