Lovely dark brown head of two fingers thickness. This quickly recedes to just a super thin ring. Color is a jet oil slick black. Makes me think of oil and coffee that has added viscosity.

Rich, deep roasted malt aroma. Savory coffee notes with stronger dark milk chocolate overtones. Smells warm and relaxing.

Pretty bitter roasted, maybe burnt in places, malt flavor from front to back. Warm oily palate. Bitter dark chocolate finish for sure. Good sipping beer, but not as good as the hype in my opinion.

Serving type: can

Poured from can into Bruery tulip.

A - Midnight black. Motor oil, man. Pours a finger and a half chocolate brown head. Later swirling produces little froth.

S - Tons of dark chocolate. Caramel, molasses. Bourbon/alcohol comes in a bit but isn't forceful.

T -Like the smell, chocolate, molasses, burnt sugar comes through up front. Not too much of an alcohol burn but the taste is there. Delicious. Like a dessert.

M - Slightly viscous, creamy. Great carbonation. Awesome mouthfeel.

O - Just a great RIS. The alcohol is definitely there but not overwhelmingly so. Picked up a four pack and each time had it for "dessert". Gets even better as it warms up.
