Notes

Espresso and dark chocolate dominate the aroma of this beer, with a slight alcohol aroma present as well. Hints of dark red fruit support the dark chocolate aroma.

Full bodied and creamy, with a velvety texture.

Espresso and dark chocolate are the main flavors, with toffee giving a noticable impression as well. There is a slight warming sensation from the alcohol as well.

Very bold beer. Possibly too bold for the style, but on its own, I really like it.
