Tasted at the Annual Black Friday tasting. It pours a nice darkness with a mocha colored head of foam floating above. The aroma offers up dark roasted malts, some burnt malts, a sliver of toffee, malts balls and then a highly toasted bread sort of note. The taste is both lively and firm with dark roasted malts, almost burnt maltiness, some sweet toffee and dark toasted bread. Yummy stuff.

22 oz. bottle from Beer Heaven, Philadelphia, PA. Bought on 11 Oct 2012, so I’m guessing it’ s a 2011 vintage. Excellent eye, perfect Presentation, deep black with thin lasting head. Nose is chocolate, hints of spruce, licorice and bitter-sweet chocolate. (Tastes like Ghirardelli baking chips) A touch of soy sauce. Notes of licorice. Body is full and velvety. Damn, this is rich, sweet and full of roasted malts. No ABV to be found. I enjoyed this brew so much I really wish I had gotten two bottles.
