Poured up on tap at the brewpub where it exhibits a deep dark used motor oil colored body that supports a thin ring of tan foam. The aroma offers up dark roasted malts, a bit of marshmallow, booze and a sense of raspberry like fruity esters. The taste delivers smooth slick sweet booze nuanced dark roasted malts and a touch of burnt malts and then a firm balancing wealth of boozing vibrancy. Intermingling with those notes are layers of chocolate. It leaves a lingering boozy warmth that reaches down and into the stomach. Fantastic sipper.
