12oz pour in the tasting room, pours a very inky black with some creamy, beige head. Nose has a ton of fresh coffee bean, lots of licorice, some boozy notes, raisin, pencil lead, soggy toast. Flavor is sweet, lots of molasses, lots of licorice, some vanilla, caramel, plenty of bread, toast, coffee beans are all over too. Tastes a little like bad KBS... which is still pretty good. Full bodied, sticky finish.

4 oz draft at Spacebar. Black with light tan head. Aromas of vanilla, dark fruit, dark chocolate, caramel. Tastes of chocolate, coffee, booze, dark fruit, a little cola. Medium body with a dry and syrupy finish. The booze kind of masks the other flavors and holds the beer back a bit for me.
