Enjoyed at 60 Degrees F in a Bordeaux glass from Riedel.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>A &#8211; Pours a midnight black \/ pitch black appearance out of the bottle but doesn\u2019t have the viscosity I expected. Minor 1 finger coffee colour head that faded slowly to a fine brown ring of carbonation on the edges. Really nice lacing and some alcohol legs.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>S &#8211; Big mocha bomb with hints of vanilla, figs and raisins.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>T &#8211; Decent maltiness but not very pronounced. Hint of milk creaminess that is overshadowed by coffee, espresso beans, dark chocolate, baker\u2019s chocolate and golding or saaz hops. A very nice bitterness but not too pronounced. Mouth swish reveals apricots and figs.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>M &#8211; Heavy body, medium carbonation.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>O &#8211; Maybe this beer is past its prime or maybe it\u2019s just a weak taste profile overall.
