One of two 12 oz bottles (bottled on 8/31/20 it says on the label) in a special release box found in Ft. Worth a few weeks ago. To commemorate the occasion, I'll be using a Cowtown Brewing snifter for the pour. I see a black liquid with the barest indication of brown around the edges with an all there-before-flattening, tawny tan head. Nice scent, very boozy with dark chocolate and berries. A drink now, geez, no disappointment here. It's like a slice of semisweet chocolate cake that is infused with alcohol. Black licorice, cocoa powder, raspberry, dark bread, malt, caramel and molasses. An obvious input from the strong ABV content. Not for the unprepared.
