Appearance - 10 | Aroma - 7 | Flavor - 6 | Texture - 8 | Overall - 6.5

Jet black pour, with a large dark brown head. Lots of sticky, oily lacing, a really nice looking pour. Aroma is incredibly roasty. Big notes, or black tar, oily, burn Turkish coffee, and charred coffee grounds. Notes of soy, and bitter cocoa powder with charred grains. Mouthfeel is silky, and oily, with a medium carb. The finish is very bitter, astringent almost. Big notes of pine resins and oily hop pellets mixed in with a strong, charred malt notes. Zero sweetness, just a sharp, bitter finish. A nice stout, but a touch unbalanced.
