Appearance: Very dark brown, reddish, body. Red mahogany cherry when held up to the light. Large off white head that settles to a nice brown layer on top. Moderate lacing
Smell: Strong dried fruit on the nose. Raisins, figs, plums, and some dates. Its sweet but you can still smell the chocolate and coffee notes from the malt, but not all the much.
Taste: Not much in the beginning. A lot going on once it gets going. There is subtle tobacco. The dried fruits continue nicely: raisins, plums, figs, and dates. Some coffee and dark caramel.
Mouthfeel: It coats the mouth lightly. Perfectly carbonated.
Overall: Great beer. Even thought is had a 7.4 abv, you can not taste it at all. The dark malts give it a great complexity. The hops could be a little more present but that might be solved if it is consumed closer to the source. Just a great balanced beer.
4.4/5
