Brown with a thin, frothy head. Aroma full of oak, whiskey and toffee. Taste is sweet with a warm, alcoholic bite at the end. Thick body with mild carbonation. Not bad but kind of rough.

Super dark and deep brown coloured body with a thinnish, single to perhaps two centimetre tall rich brown head. Aroma of soy sauce, rich molasses and caramelised sugars with a bit of a chocolate note, but a lot of coffee and smoked peat at the tail end. Medium to Full-bodied; Strong rich malt flavours at first with a lot of earth, pungent grain, a lot of chocolate, some bitterness from nuts and soy sauce and ending with a lot of pungent and assertive robust malt flavours. Aftertaste shows a lot of chocolate, some lighter sweet notes from pitted fruits, but mostly a deep and bitter funk from the chocolate, alcohol and soy sauce 'off-flavours' with a dash of very light raspberries and blueberries noticeable at the end, battling through all the deep flavours. Overall, a nice and extremely potent beer that shows a lot of malt, but even more pungent flavours, but ended up quite nicely, but the age probably helped out a good deal. I sampled this 75 cL bottle purchased from The Brew Shop in Arlington (Clarendon), Virginia on 27-April-2017 for US$12,49 sampled at my house here in Washington on 30-June-2019.

16oz can at Nationals Park. Aroma was nice citrus fruits, grapefruit, lemon, mild funky notes, some grain. Very light bitterness. This was very easy to drink and a pleasant sight in Nationals Stadium.
