Pours a ridiculously solid obsidian color with a superb, thick, fluffy yet dense, tan head. Pretty thick pour, very viscous. Immediately roast coffee hits my nose. This is unlike any other beer I have had. There is no joking around with the coffee aspect if this beer. It smells like the spent grains from an espresso shot...wonderful. The taste follows the smell but also brings in more complexity. You get a lot of burnt and roasted coffee, along with ample amounts of dark chocolate and burnt sugar. The bitterness and balance of this beer are incredible. This is addictingly good.
