Pours black with a hint of ruby red on the edges of the glass when I hold it up to the light. A huge frothy root beer like head forms on the pour. Good retention with thick sticky lacing forming before the first sip.
The aroma is of dark roasted malt, cocoa, and slight coffee aromas.
The taste is light with dark roasted malt, cocoa, and hint so of coffee on the finish. Some light coffee like bitterness in the finish. A milky smoothness
Big body with a low level of carbonation. Creamy smooth mouth feel with a sticky sweetness on the lips.
Overall, an enjoyable easy drinking beer. The flavors are good, but seem a little bit muted, but at the same time this seems to work with this beer. Well balanced flavors with a super milky creamy and smooth character. This beer goes down easy and hits the spot! Try one!
