The beer pours with your typical dark color and fluffy tan head, perfect for the style. I’m getting lots of coffee on the nose upfront, some notes of caramel, nuts, roasted malt and mild fruitiness in the aroma as well. On the sweeter side to start the taste with some chocolate and sweet cream. A mild amount of roasted malt then follows the sweetness. The coffee comes in on the second half of the taste on into the finish. The finish provides a little balance with a little bit of hope bite, and some licorice and booziness appear as the beer warms.
This is drinking amazing right now, but there are a few sharper edges to the beer. I feel like this could age pretty well if you are willing to risk loosing some coffee flavor.
