Brewing something people should know about?
Since 2007, The Full Pint has been where craft beer fans get their news. Breweries and beer brands can reach them too.
Aroma: Chocolate,funk, caramel, coffe and dust.
Taste: Roasty notes,sweet milk chocolate,sweetened coffee, cooked hops,caramel and table sugar.
Mouthfeel: Full bodied. Not nearly as goopy as Dark Lord or Darkness, thicker than Beek Geek and Black Albert.
Overall: I like it better than Dark Lord, Darkness and Black Albert, but I took away tastes of Darkness that I don’t care for. Not as sugary, but still too much for me. I would say anyone familiar with the base parts should know what they are getting themselves into. I wouldn’t trade higher than dollar for dollar on this.
