Black as pitch with a thin tan cap.

Roasted grain, toasted bread, burnt sugar, espresso coffee, and bitterrest chocolate perfume.

The taste is just a bit sweeter than the nose, but all the darkness of malt, from dark caramel and light chocolate to charry bitter, bakers chocolate, and coffee are at work here. These flavors create a complex and delicious experience that ends with truly wonderful and lingering bitter. As it warms alcohol and sweet spiciness, even a hint of stone fruit, come into it. Superb.

Low carb., smooth, clean, full bodied, with a finish that is clean, long, and perfectly dry.

Marvel;ous stout, an homage to the dark side of the maltsters craft, and to the genius side of brewing. Highest recommendation.

look: 4 | smell: 4.5 | taste: 4.5 | feel: 4.25 | overall: 4.25

Bottle: Poured a deep black color porter with a medium size dirty brown color head with good retention and some light lacing. Aroma of chocolate malt notes with some light caramel with some vanilla and Italian cookie notes. Taste is also dominated by chocolate malt notes with some vanilla and Italian biscuit notes with light dry roasted malt notes. Body is quite full with light creamy texture and good carbonation with no apparent alcohol. Very impressive amount of complexity while retaining a good level of drinkability.

look: 4.5 | smell: 4 | taste: 4 | feel: 4.5 | overall: 4.75

Pitch black with slight creamy chestnut head that passes no light. Patches of creamy lace and a viscous film cling to the snifter glass.

Lots of chocolate syrup, and some sweet black coffee not much else, but simplicity is a good thing here.

Sweet with a little bit of bitterness, while the alcohol is quite present long into the lingering finish. Chocolate and some background of roasted coffee. Chocolate returns in the finish. Warmth is a good friend of this beer.

Very high alcohol, yet smooth texture and little heat. There is little to know carbonation in this dense almost syrupy beer.

Truly one of those savored experiences. Biscotti is a surprisingly and dangerously easy drinking dessert beer good for watching people and sipping slowly.

Serving type: on-tap

Short light mocha head leaves a cap and collar.

Smells like Hershey's syrup.

Big time chocolate notes (cacao nibs), coffee is a little muted at this point present. Hides its ABV very well.

Mouthfeel is great. Super smooth, light on the palate with the carbonation level.

It just about doesn't get any better of a mouthfeel then this one, well integrated. Thanks TATURBO.
