750ml bottle shared by luttonm @FrankenBierFest (Rome). Thank you Matt! Pours deep brown with a medium cappuccino head. Aroma of chocolate, light coffee, licorice, molasses. Flavour is rich but a bit unbalanced, medium to heavy sweet with a light bitter end. Medium to high body, medium to low carbonation. Very good beer!

Black color, brown head. It’s rich, chocolatey, sweet, roasty, a bit coffeish. Smooth and elegant, delicious.
Quote from the fat guy sitting next to me "it irritates me how good Hill Farmstead beers are".
Just divine.

Bottled 2.10.16.
This was poured into a snifter.
The appearance was a black color with a slim less than finger’s white to off white foamy head that dissipated at a nice pace.
The smell had a nice crisp to sweet to bitter to roasty coffee/cocoa bean blissful sweetness. Light vanilla opens up the aroma nicely.
The taste was moderately sweet with a delicate roasty, slightly wheaty/grainy flavor. Light grainy sweet roasty coffee aftertaste. Dry sweet wheaty/grainy finish.
On the palate, this one sat about a medium on the body with a nice sweet/roasty balanced texture to feel. Good sipper, almost sessionable.
Overall, I dig the wheat that HF put in this to give a bit more body and \"oomph\" that a lot of people tend to look for. Coffee portion gives a really nice aroma and taste. I’d have again.

Well roasted malts in the nose, hearty chocolate, suggestions of dark fruits. Medium sweet flavor with smooth coffee, bittersweet chocolate, scorched earth, moderate alcohol, raisins. Medium to full bodied, lightly chewy, with fine carbonation and massaging texture. Lightly warming on the finish with rich, gooey chocolate, decent roast, burnt sugars, brown sugar, more raisins, fig. Great stuff.

Bottle split at the level 42 tasting, massive thanks to HF Peddler LKS, 09/03/16. Pitch black with a dirty tan covering that thins to a swirl and edgeing. Nose is roast malt, light coffee, charr, tar, molasses, toffee. Taste comprises chocolate, molasses, light grain, spice, roasted malt, toasted brown sugar, fruit cake pang. Medium + bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close with light rising alcohol. Decent impy but not top draw.
