Sample at the High Gravity Hullabaloo on 02/06/2016. The beer pours black with some brown around the edges, and a medium tan head that diminishes steadily to a film. Patchy lacing on the glass. Aroma of roast malt, dark chocolate and licorice. Full-bodied with flavors of dark malt, roasted coffee, chocolate and a bit of anise. The finish is roasty with a lingering malty aftertaste. Pretty good all around.
