HKdIPA (1438) reviewed Dark Soul - Amburana Barrel from Carbon Brews 2 years ago
Appearance - 8 | Aroma - 7 | Flavor - 8 | Texture - 8 | Overall - 8.5
Tall bottle at home from Owlsome. Opaque black pour with dark brown edges and barely any head/carbonation. Aroma is rich dark chocolate and cinnamon. A bit like a xocoveza without the chili. Taste is similar, with more creaminess to round it out. Strong alcohol almost plays chili role, but cinnamon flavor from amburana I assume is not my favorite. Palate is rich and just on edge of chalky but not. Very good just not my preferred type.
