A rich, well-balanced foreign style stout with a huge amount of roasted barley as well as chocolate, black, and caramel malts. Hopping with Columbus, Tettnang and East Kent Goldings gives it a mild bitterness and smooth finish. The opening Plato is 16.0 and the beer ferments to an ending Plato of 4.5. The alcohol content is 6.0% by volume

DAN'S NOTES:

This beer pours an opaque dark black color with a large foamy mocha head. Heavy roasted malts dominate the nose along with some bitter baking chocolate and light earthy hops. The body and carbonation both sit at a medium level pretty typical to the style. Roasted malts are once again in the spotlight on the palate along with some fairly heavy coffee flavors. The earthy hops come through lightly on the finish along with an almost tobacco like note.
