On tap, gritty mocha nutty obsidian-hued full body relies on intense hop-roasted oats toasting to engage prominent coffee-stained black chocolate richness, deepening the wood-burnt walnut char and subsidiary vanilla bean jab. Honey-glazed hazelnut sweetness, chocolate-caked cocoa powdering and pine-sapped maple gradually contrast the coarsely bitter end. In the bottle (despite an aggressive pour), richly creamed full body (brewed with cocoa-powdered cacao nibs) picks up gooey anise influence on its way to the nutty black chocolate finish. Dark-roasted mocha malts and deeply charred hops inform black coffee, raw molasses, vanilla and fudge undertones.
