12 oz single as an extra as part of a recent trade.
Pour is the requisite black ink body with some nice lace in a mocha, coffee color that is provoked by an aggressive pour. Opaque, even at the extremeties.
Nose gives away plenty of really strong malts and a touch of alcohol.
Alcohol is fairly well hidden and I might have said that it was more in the 7-8% range rather than 10%. Simple roasted flavors, touches of alcohol and a fairly large dose of licorice make up the body of the beer. Smooth in the mouth and rather drinakble.
A creamy beer that I enjoyed very much, and even more as the bottle warmed. Oddly, the next day I noticed that I had left about 3 oz in the bottom of the bottle and I drank it with about 24 hours exposure to the elements on it. It showed no signs of noticeable oxidation (obviously some MUST have taken place), and it still had a decent amount of carbonation! Sign of a well made beer? Perhaps, but it was an interesting addition to my experience with this one!
Tasty stuff.
