2004 12oz. bottle
Damn...this thing pours an evil, cloudy, dark as night black w/ a full finger of thick mocha head. Tight lacing that is motionless on the side of the glass...this is one serious brew!
Smell is a sweet raisins and coffee w/ just a hint of alcohol...real pleasant. Some chocolate scent as well, but not what is dominating at this point.
Did I say thick??? Holy crap, this baby is like a milk shake...packed with chocolate, coffee, malt and hops. For its consistency, this baby is still refreshing. It is very smooth and balanced...not bitter at all and leaves a tasty aftertaste. I wouldn't say drinkability is rated high, but it is no struggle to finish off this pint w/ a huge smile on my face. I do not taste the alcohol one bit at just above room temperature...but I can feel its effects after just 8 ounces...I like that!
Great beer...next.
