American-leaning dark beer brewed with custom commissioned Mizunara (Japanese oak) conditioned malt. Hopped lightly with PNW hops, fermented with American ale yeast, then conditioned on Mizunara to achieve an oak character like no other. A rare beer using a rare resource from across the globe! Dark chocolate bark, tahini ice cream, burnt caramel, Lancaster County mocha milk, Toblerone, soft oak tannin with a creamy texture. Brewed for the season, straight from the abyss.

Bomber from the brewery, consumed in a hotel room. Pours dark brown, with a fleeting, tan head. The nose is toffee, nutty sherry, dusty cocoa, pine sap, and sharp caraway. Sweet and rubbery, with a mild, dusty bitterness. Medium to heavy body, syrupy, and quite acrid. Rough and remarkably unpleasant.

Bottle from source: pours black with beige head. Aroma is chocolate, coffee. Somewhat bitter, not too sweet or too heavy. Great flavor. Very good.
