Taster at Alter. Not the strongest beer here, by a few tenths of a point, but the darkest, and this last on the tray. Deep brown with garnet highlights. Coffee and cocoa bean nose is well-placed, and still not too intense. Lily legs down the inside of the glass. This is nicely viscous and sweet, like an Old Engine Oil, or a Kahlua. Surely they must already have this stuff in a barrel or two already, too come out maybe next Christmas.
