Aroma is dark chocolate and burnt malts with overtones of coffee. Appearance is a rich, smooth black and looks velvety with a thin, light-tan head on top that dissipates. Mouthfeel is medium-bodied, not heavy and is pretty well-rounded, almost syrupy. Flavor is chocolate, dark malt, and bitterness on the back end. Overall, sold brew here, more of an imperial stout as opposed to a Belgian-style with flares of foriegn/export Stout thrown in the mix.
