Had been intending on sitting on this longer, but after a long week, it seemed like a good way to cap this Friday.

A: Pours dark, dark, and darker with minimal head, even with an aggressive pour. Rim of khaki around the edge in my Delirium tulip.

S: Mostly dark fruits with a slight hint of smoked malts initially. As it warms up, the malt comes out slightly more.

T: Initial sweetness (with this ABV, that's to be expected) followed by the dark fruit I had picked up in the nose. Lingering and pleasant taste left with the malt and cocoa dominating.

M: Extremely smooth for the ABV with little carbonation. Definitely enjoyed this aspect.

O: Having had this beer only once before and remembering it to be great, I was not let down. I may have enjoyed it in the wrong venue and would have liked to share it with a friend, but I didn't mind having it all to myself at all. For the pricepoint, you cannot go wrong and I wish I had picked up an extra can or four to age for a while longer to see what happened to it. The educator in me gives it an A-.
