Thanks goes out to Diddy for the generous gift of four of these.

Upending the bottle rewards me with just under a finger of dark chocolate looking head. Body is the deepest brown, nearing black, but a little light can be seen attempting to pass through on the edges. Leaves a bit of thin lacing.

Aroma is dark chocolate, heavy roasted malt, and a hint of dark fruit.

To get the full flavor, this beer must be allowed to warm a bit. Dark chocolate is the first flavor. This intermingles with dark fruit for a few seconds, than this phases out, allowing the chocolate flavor to take stage again, then plays off the heavy alcohol taste on the end.

Mouthfeel is surprisingly only medium. Carbonation bites the tongue lightly at the beginning. Beer coats the tongue, especially the back.
