Review: Apparently I really liked this beer. I almost forgot about it until just now. Black beer with low carbonation and strong alcoholic and toasty malt aroma. It's laden with crystal and chocolate malts as well as a ton of cascade hops. A good start. With a smooth feel and full body flavor, this is an excellent beer. The chocolate malt really shines through the most, and I detected some sort of fruity sweetness. It was probably derived somehow through the combination of malts, but it certainly creates a good complexity to what can typically be a more bitter combination of ingredients. Bravo

Rating: 4.5/5
