Poured up nitro tap at the brewpub where it exhibits a deep dark mahogany colored body that supports a tight dark tan head. The aroma offers up dark roasted malts, chocolate malts and a mild spicy sort of lactose sensation. The taste delivers a pleasing blend of chocolate and softened dark roasted malts flowing into a mild lactose drying note. It seems to pull up a sliver of sweet dark fruity esters from time to time that’s working well here. This is very nice with a rewarding level of chocolate goodness.
