Bottle Pours a dark brown with a huge frothy light tan head. As this settles, large amounts of sticky lacing coat the glass. Aroma is very chocolatey, fairly sweet and a touch of alchohol. Flavors are less sweet than I expected, chocolate is there, dark malts, a little licorice and a bit of smoke. Not particularly complex, but simple and tasty enough. The ABV is 5.9 but smells and tastes a bit higher. Quite noticeable chalky feel that is a bit much actually. Lingering slightly bitter old campfire flavor.
