Appearance: opaque deep brown to black with a tall beige head of good retention. Aroma: roasted, chocolate waffles, coffee liquor, cream, nuts, some citrus hops breaking through. Taste: light to medium sweet and bitter. Roast and toast. Coffee, milk chocolate, nut waffles, brandy, solid hopping. Lingering hoppy ending. Mouth feel: medium body, soft to average carbonation. Summary: surprisingly good given I'm not a pastry fan. A lot of brewers forget about the balance of sweet and bitter. This one is just right.

Tap. Almost black color, coffee foam. Aroma: sweet, strongly chocolate, waffles, caramel, nut butter, a little coffee, very dessert. Sweet taste, nuts, cream, vanilla, waffles, nut butter, bitter finish.
