Beer tasted at mcbackus tasting courtesy of daknole. Pours dark with two inch mocha head. The aroma is roasty, earthy, even has a mild zing of something off. The taste is the same with roasted malts moving toward burnt malts, coffee and chocolate malts to go along with some malt astringency in the finish. It gets more and more burnt into the finish with more ounces consumed and finishes feeling a bit watery.
