Poured a deep black with good carbonation and a nice tannish head. Nose is roasted malt, spice, cardamom,light coffee. Taste is where this beer really shined. Cocoa, coffee, roasted malt with cardamom being evident but not overpowering on the taste. very good and well blended together.
Mouthfeel is creamy, coating, sting of light booze and warming. Cardamom and roasted finish. Very good.

Serving type: on-tap
