look: 3.5 | smell: 3 | taste: 3 | feel: 4 | overall: 3

12 oz bottle poured into goblet.

A: Pours an opaque black with brownish-red tinted corners. Very little head on this.

S: The first thing I picked up on was valerian root, which I can't exactly say is pleasant. Smell is bitter, with roasted malts and cocoa in there as well.

T: Similar to the smell, there is a hoppy bitterness to this brew not often associated with the style. The bitter herb profile is still up front, and follows the chocolate into the finish.

M: Carbonation is fairly low and this brew is actually quite a bit thinner than it appears.

D: Not a bad beer, but far from what I would call an exemplary representation of the style. The bitter herb profile is too much for me to handle.

Worth a shot, but nothing special really.
