Bottle pour into nonic pint glass from Cigarette City. Appearance is dark brown with finger-width light brown foamy head with fair retention and fair lacing. Aroma is strong cocoa. Taste is strong sweet milk chocolate with light bitter ending. Palate is medium bodied with smooth, thick texture, average carbonation and mix of sweet and bitter finish. Overall, it certainly scores high on the chocolate front and if it tasted like this without cacao nibs I’d give it higher marks, but it is pretty much a one-trick pony without any complexity. Good dessert beer.

Ravfarget klar med fingerhøyt beige skum. Masse humle i lukt. Grapefrukt, sitrus og kommer også noe maltig lukt mot karamell og kaffe. Middels minus i fylde. Bitterheten er middels kraftig. Grape, sitrusskall og noe melon. Middels lang.

(Bottle, 0.355 l - BB May 21 2017, from Alko, 20161125) The beer poured deep amber and clear. Its head was quite large, white and it lasted long. Aroma had pine, berries and caramel. Palate was medium bodied with medium carbonation. Flavours were pine, berries, caramel, malts and bitterness. Aftertaste was hoppy and bitter. A rather unpleasant hoppy pale ale. Weird berriness.

Tap bowsers. Pale with a thin scummy head. Beery clean smell. First taste is some ill ale attributes with a unique unidentifiable fruit bitter background. Sometimes fruit or peach is undefinable but I guess its there. Not bad but was hoping of something a little more tart or sweet. yes, the medium bitter hopping is quite apparent on the finish. Overall, does hide high alky rating fairly well.

Enjoy by May 11th 2017. Kinda sickenly sweet and it's hoppy. Not my bag by a long shot.

Thin and mild, with a moderate chocolate middle and a modest mocha fade. Weak on the front and finish. Hey, WOB Savannah: clean your damn tap lines.

Sample at Daily Growler UA. Clear brownish-amber color with a medium thin off-white head that dissipates steadily to an outer ring. Strings of lacing. Aroma of roast malt, caramel and fruit. Medium body with flavors of caramel malt, fruit and touch of hops. The finish is sweet with a malty aftertaste. Decent overall.
