Sample at the brewery. Flat black pour with a thin beige head that recedes quickly to a dense film. Sparse strings of lace. Chocolatey aroma with notes of malt and coconut. Full-bodied with flavors of roast malt, coconut, cognac and chocolate. The finish is chocolate fudge and oaky cognac. Good beer all around.
