Pours black as night with a thin mocha head that doesn't stick around long. Man this looks thick as sin, lives up to it's meal in a bottle moniker.
What a great aroma. One of the best chocolate scents I have ever smelled in a beer. Rich milky chocolate, coffee, burnt malts, just a delicious smell.
The taste is somewhat the reverse of the scent. Strong coffee upfront, somewhat bitter with a rich chocolate backbone. You can pick up some of the bitterness from the burnt malts in the backend of the palate. Great balance and not a hint of the 8.3 ABV.
Mouthfeel is creamy and smooth. Not as thick as I would have expected but very nice.
I would say if I had regular access to this it would be my go to IS, just so drinkable and balanced. I could really enjoy several of these in on sitting if the weather was right. Great beer.
