A - Poured out a dark brown and once in the glass appeared pitch black except on the edge when held up to the light. Made a one finger chocolaty thick head with really tiny bubbles that died off relatively fast. Lacing is average on this one.

S - On the nose I get creamy bitter chocolate right away, some black licorice and a bit of hops in the back end. I almost feel like I'm sniffing a dark creamy chocolate bar.

T - I get the bitterness from the hops right away with the nice chocolate malt, coffee, toffee, cream; in the back this leaves a lingering after taste that has an astringent flavor which I believe is from the hop variety used.

M - This brew i full bodied with a soft pillowy feel not to mention a bitter bite from the hops and a prickle on your tongue from the carbonation. Wow a lot going on here in the mouth, Amazing!

O - A really nice sipping RIS that is to be desired at the end of a cold night. If you like RIS you need to at least try a bottle of this, with its uniquely great qualities. I will definitely be cellaring some of these to see if that astringent flavor fades, will update wit an aged version in the future. Cheers!
