Poured into my snifter as dark as night with a half inch of thick, brown foam. Retention retreated quickly. The little bit that formed an orbit around my glass, lightly created splotchy lacing.
Aroma is roasted malt which is definitely the biggest. Also found chocolate, smoke (seemed forced - fake), and some dried fruit which seemed to give a sweet scent.
Sweetness and dried fruit up front (possibly molasses sweetness) with a quick and long transition to roasted, dry malts. There is a slight smokiness to the finish. Roasted malt lingers into the after taste.
Lots of carbonation, more than I expected. Medium body. Dry like the desert on the finish.
Dries out so quickly that it was hard for me to really find it refreshing. It is a good stout with well rounded stout flavors, while the smoke ads a twist. Not a big smoked beer person but this one does it subtlety enough to stomach. Enjoy!
