UPDATED: FEB 8, 2021 12 oz bottle. Pours pitch black in color and capped by a thin tan layer of foam that fades quickly to the body below. The aroma shows notes of dark chocolate, burnt caramel, earthy roast, and some star anise over a dark roasted malt base with ample boozy alcohol. The flavor follows with the rich dark chocolate, toasted caramel, some vanilla, and earthy grains to go with the dark roasted and black patent malts with a firm bitterness on the back end with some boozy warmth. Full bodied and smooth with soft carbonation that leads to a moderately bitter sweet dark chocolate, burnt caramel, toasted grains, and earthy roast on the finish with some lingering boozy warmth. You can tell this one packs a punch but it doesn’t drink like 16% abv at all. Good flavor and impressive stuff for being so high in alcohol.
