The beer pored a dark redidish brown color with a small off white bubbly head.  The nose nice with strong malt and hints of chocolate.  The first sip is all malts and the body is much more of the same.  There are some more hints of chocolate but what makes this beer interesting is that the taste here is of dry malts rather then the sweet roasted malts that usually accompany a dark beer like this.  The beer leaves a ton of hanging lace which is further evidence of the massive amount of malt in here.  The finish is shot but nice, dry, with a hint of hops.  This beer has a bunch of good parts and would go great with beer but I am not sure I would want it without some sort of food. 

The ultimate resource for beer drinkers!
