Thanks Sarah for the bottle! Taster showing deep brown with half a finger of latte colored foam despite an aggressive pour. The nose shows moderately intense notes of dark chocolate, lactose and light notes of coffee. The palate is well carbonated and medium bodied with a light mouthfeel. Moderately intense notes of cocoa and lighter notes of dark chocolate, roasted malts, steel tank, and light hops. Lightly intense dark chocolate bitterness on the finish.

The Aromas are coffee, chocolate, roast and dark malt. Flavors are similar to nose, sweet but without much depth. OK body slightly strong carbonation. Good enough beer.

All these things together just taste like weed. But not in a bad way, ya know.
