Bottled. A pitch black beer with lazing brown head. The aroma is sweet with strong notes of roasted malt and alcohol. And so is the flavor added some chocolate - a bit like warm chocolate served at 10 degrees C - nice.

Courtesy of kiefdog. Pours deep darkness with thin tan head. The aroma is charred malts and coffee to go along with highly roasted malts (somewhat short of charred) and a hint of molasses. The taste begins as a sweet malty caramel pulse and quickly moving into charred malts and coffee. Toward midway a tasty note of vanilla surfaces to join the roasted to burnt notes. Yummy brew, I didn’t notice the ABV at all.

Pours black into a snifter. Mocha head conglomerates as it slowly recedes leaving spider lacing. Dry cocoa, oxiginated vanilla and soy aromas. Upfront creamy vanilla alcohol. Turning to milk chocolate and sour espresso and soy in the finish. A tad thin.

Pour is a cloudy orange with a small white head. Aroma is pure hop juice. Flavor is lots of hop resin with a subtle bitterness after the first sip. The hoppyness is almost to the point of being a double IPA without the high alcohol. Its a typical west coast IPA and that make me a happy boy.
