Black with a deep beige head. Rich chocolate, earthy, oak, sweet caramel, vanilla, red wine depth, cocoa. Full bodied with a lightly dry finish. Might be their best in this โ€œseriesโ€ cause it has some depth and complexity, which the others lack.

Black with a thin beige head. Sweet boozy profile with some oak, caramel, vanilla. Thin bodied. Lacking quite a bit here, IMO. Itโ€™s overly boozy but without reward.
