22oz bottle. Poured a nearly pitch black color with a little bit of dark ruby red on the edges of the glass when light shined through it. Medium sized, foamy light tan color, quickly dissipating. Aroma was light sponge cake, very light coffee, Hershey chocolate. Flavor was mild coffee. Now that I've finished it, I get the kind of light aftertaste of when you drink coffee and taste it a while later, but it wasn't too coffee forward. Easy to drink at a very reasonable abv.
