ABV: 5.6%
On pour, the beer had a robust, dark color reminiscent of black coffee, without any noticeable aroma other than a faint malty smell. Initially the head was strong and thick with a light brown color and a creamy consistency, however, it dissipated rather quickly.
The beer had mild chocolate notes with strong hoppy undertones complimented by a highly-modified malt flavor. This full bodied brew did not finish quickly but rather lingered nicely without any metallic taste common in darker beers.
On the whole, this was is a very well-rounded beer suitable for cold nights, warm company and pub food.
Overall Rating: A-
