look: 3.5 | smell: 4 | taste: 4 | feel: 3.5 | overall: 4

Appearance:

Popped the capon the bomber and was greeted with a generous hissing sound and lots of carbonation gasses, off to a good start. Poured into my Mad Elf snifter and decided to pour slowly just in case the head went crazy. I was left with a decent looking one finger thick head that came off a beautiful mocha color. Deep black color with no yeast or haze hanging around here. The head faded away slowly to just some patches throughout. On the swirl the viscosity seems to be pretty decent with long legs. impressive for a low ABV beer.

Smell:

Loads of dry cocoa powder, sweet chocolate, roast, ashy earthy hops,moss, tree bark and some coffee undertones. Very slight to no alcohol presence with some lingering molasses.

Taste:

Dry, Dry, Dry and very roasty almost like bitter bakers chocolate, earthy hops, very light on the palate and easy to drink. Some toast, vanilla, almonds and other nutty flavors. Has a long lingering dry finish that I am really enjoying. Another great beer from the FFF guys again I wish you came to PA.

Serving type: bottle
