I finally get to try the epic, legendary, whispered about malt liquor. Poured up on tap at the Flavor Bistro during RBWG16 where it exhibits a mahogany colored body that supports a lasting tan head of foam. The aroma offers up sweet malts blended with roasted malts and a biscuit malt character. The taste is sugary sweet with malts before getting into a thin dark roasted maltiness and a light sense of sweet nuttiness. As it warmed a bit I got a sliver of burnt malts and faint lagery fruity esters coming to the surface.
