0.375L bottle pours with a nice deep dark body that supports a thin light mocha head of foam. The aroma offers up an initial pulse of chocolate bar followed slowly by a pleasing mint and chocolate blend where thin dark roasted maltiness rings the experience out at the periphery. The taste is rich and deep with dark roasted coffee to burnt malts, full rich chocolate notes that have a bit of earthy chocolate at the edges and then a chocolate nuanced mint sensation to midway. It gets a bit more roasty toward the finish as the palate tries to adjust and further enjoy the bountiful chocolate and slivers of cool mint. The after taste is treated to a near even blend of dark coffee, chocolate and an ever growing mint note. Solid sipper.

500 ml Willebecher glass draft at the Angel’s Trumpet Ale House in Phoenix, Arizona. The pour is a mostly clear golden with a small white head. The aroma is clean cracker malt, toast, and a general grass yeast. The taste is a really nice bright fresh cracker malt and grass, very much what I have come to expect from a Kolsch. The palate is medium to light bodied with soft natural carbonation and a dry grass grain finish. Tasty beer.
