A blend of malts give a sweetness and body usual with dark beers but full hopping allows the bitter flavor to come through.

From old tasting notes. Deep reddish brown color. Massive rocky tan head. Sweet brown sugar malt nose.mtasty bittersweet dark malt flavor hints at chocolate, currants and coconut. Wonderfully complex and flavorful.

Bottle at Chriso’ Blue Mountains of Virginia tasting. Smells of a sugar lined cardboard box. Not a huge amount of body, very old, some roasted malt. Just not very good. Aroma is frankly revolting.
