For those who carry the turtle creed. A cacao nib, chocolate, and caramel drizzle over a sweetly soft and complex shortbread cookie base pulled form nine different malts in homage to the ancient and honorable turtle bar.

Pint can picked up from the Solemn Oath taproom in Chicago - really fizzy nearly black pour - at first kicks up a massive fizzy head, just like soda, and then that completely disappears - it really does look just like cola - feels flat in the mouth - it also kinda tastes like cola, honestly - it's sweet, but not cloyingly so, but then has a slightly sharp acidity on the back end, finishing quite a bit like a soda would - there are some caramel flavors, a touch of chocolate, a bit of vanilla on the back end - sharp finish - it's not great.
