on cask @ andy's corner pub, bogata NJ this sunday (props to my bud yelterdow for calling the place)

eyes...
black, hella black, hellish black, hellicious black... got it ? even on cask the head retained.. and of course this monster sticks to the glass like a fat chick on my c.. nevermind... it is menacing looking, I let it sit for a bit and it still had a nice head on it (milk choc colored). I was suprised at how active it was out of the cask....

nose...
burnt malts coated with a dollop of hops, coffee, no sense of the punch this baby delivers at all in the odor... everything is balanced, not one note is killing the other, it lets you know who is boss and it aint you! the aroma is intoxicating and delish.

taste etc...
slick, oily slick resin and hops, mild burnt flavors, abv is hiding and ready to pounce, chocolate notes linger with only some slight sweetness..and then smackin bitter bitter bitter hops... the mouthfeel is still WAY too thin onthis one imo... the only detriment I can really think of.. if this was thicker feeling it would be a total home run, but that said I still love the living crap outta this beer.

verdict?
do I even need to ? please.. if you like bold tasting stouts just go have some of this... this is bad-ass, period.
