Tried again from the can. Big pine, resin, wood, light caramel and flowers. Excellent and very well put-together. Also beautiful. Can on RBSG bus. From Guyinchicago, I think. Deep amber with a nice thin lacy head. Nice aroma, big, big fruit, dry, simcoe, nice citrus and grass. Smooth body, not a lot of carbonation. Not too much caramel either. Just a bit. Malt is understated, hops take over. Very smooth bitterness, nice citrusy grass. Great stuff. 8/4/8/3/15

Bottle shared at RBSG. It’s got a sour tang to it that works nicely, like sour cherries, with chocolate. Very sweet, toffee, not that burnt, but a nice beer. Somewhat basic, but does everything right.

Bottle: Poured a pitch-black color stout with a large deep dirty brown color head with good retention and some lacing. Aroma of roasted malt and black chocolate with some light liquorice and dry coffee notes is quite enjoyable. Taste is also a heavy mix between some roasted malt with light bitter notes with rich black chocolate notes and very subtle notes of liquorice and dry fruits. Sweetness is very well balanced and not nearly as cloying as Dark Lord. Body is full with good carbonation and warming notes are perceptible though nothing too heavy. Well done and still retaining some balance even though it is an extreme beer.
