Flashlight shows deep brown to burnt orange shades with thin, but steady head retention. Smells faintly of chocolate and coffee, but there really isn’t much aroma here. Taste is a crisp, lightly sweet malt profile, with a velvety smooth and creamy mouthfeel. Finish bursts with dry, herbal hop character with a light bitterness; smoke and chocolate notes remain. Overall, disappointed by the smell here, but otherwise this is a great, well-balanced, extremely sessionable stout.
