100% locally grown, malted and roasted grains. There’s a really distinct richness and depth of character from using Chocolate roasted wheat, rye, and oats from Valley Malt.

Can (canned 6/17/18, peak by 6/17/19--hey, a little extra aging never hurt anyone, right?) pour from Fort Point Market, Boston. Appearance is opaque, inky black with nice viscosity but no sparkle, a few large white floaties, finger-width fizzy light brown head with nice crackle and poor retention and no lacing. Aroma is strong earthy roasted barley malt (like partially burnt leaves), dark chocolate, whiff of anise. Taste follows aroma. Mouthfeel is medium-to-full bodied with smooth, thick texture, soft carbonation and finish as taste. Overall, real nice body and aroma and taste are strong with some variety, though not terribly complex. Enjoyable.

Batch 1. Aroma is dark fruit, chocolate, and licorice. Star anise and dark fruit is a huge flavor element in the stout. Layered malts gives plenty of nuances. Alcohol is completely hidden. Finish is lightly lingering dark fruit with a dry texture. Extremely enjoyable for a non-barrel aged stout.

375mL bottle drunk 4/7/18.
Dark mahogany-to-ebony. Tan head recedes quickly to ring. Undetermined quality, but probably mostly clear.
Soft, mild and full of chocolate-vanilla. Fruitiness is strong, but again, is well-lagered and shows no punchy/grapey acidity. Just soft, playful, mild acidity and light sweetness even. No alcohol or flaw. Their dark beers always show such depth and softness, with mild cereals and well-developed chocolate-fudge, yet never any syrupy or underfermented character, and this is no exception.
Soft and sweet in the mouth, with fig jam and milk chocolate flavors slowly giving way to light roast and raisin-like acidity. Soft and silky texture with low but mostly tight carbonation. Not overly bitter or acidic but yet not fudgey-syrupy or too sweet either. Very flavorful and complex and barely feels like even 6 or 7%. Awesome stuff.
