Aroma: “Very strong coffee, moderate malt sweetness, caramel, touch of alcohol, toffee, touch of plum, and even a little funky. As it warms, there are stronger licorice notes and a hint of marshmallow.”

Flavor: “Piney/citrusy hops, roast malt, dark Caramalt, and full body. Medium bitterness leads to a drying finish. Going deeper, it tastes like a raw hops tea with light malt sweetness, but strong bitterness holds it.”

Overall: “Relatively straightforward American stout. Fair bit of hops that go throughout. May be a tad grassy for some.”
