Purchased at West Lakeview Liquors in Chicago, IL; enjoyed while watching the Super Bowl, a great one to have for my 800th rating! Appearance is pitch black, extremely thick, rich fuzzy tan head that can’t be avoided. Aroma of really dark chocolate, coffee, lactose, cocoa. Very nice. Taste is decent, its got a bitterness to it and you can tell lactose was not used, there’s a dark fruit element to it that adds complexity, and retains the aroma like qualities. Pretty good, better impys out there but still good. Artwork earns this one extra points.
