Poured up at AZ Strong Beer Fest 2017 where it exhibits a dark mahogany almost chocolate colored body that supports a mocha colored head. The aroma offers up dark roasted malts, some sweet fruity esters of plum and dates as well as a bit of chocolate toward the end of the draw. The taste delivers dark roastiness, a bit of burnt malts and then there’s an undercurrent of sweet dark fruity plum-y kind of date like esters in the background. To midway it gets a tad earthy with malts and a light sense of chocolate. Pretty solid stuff.
