Taster at the source. Deep brown basically black with a bubbly off white head that dissipates quickly. Rich roasty grains with hints of chocolate and caramel and lots of smooth cold brewed coffee to accentuate that. Rich creamy smooth mouthfeel and medium to thick body helps to tie this all together very nicely!
