Tasting Notes (2)

Brewer 132014

Tasted on 1/7/2024 by Brewer 132014

Notes:

Jet black with 2 finger khaki head that dissipates fairly quickly to thin cap. Smells of dark chocolate and medium roast coffee. Full body, thick, creamy mouthfeel, appropriately moderate carbonation. Flavor is roast, dark chocolate, medium roast coffee. After aging, bitterness seems appropriate. Consider roasting cocoa nibs to increase chocolate flavor. Possibly add some vanilla extract at bottling for added sweetness and complexity, but doesn't need it.

Tasted on 12/28/2023 by Brewer 132014

Notes:

Carbonation level is good, thin head, quickly disappears, jet black with red highlights around the edges, lots of roast and coffee on the nose, some alcohol, mouthfeel is full, but not syrupy, flavor is roast and coffee. Maybe a tad too bitter? Overall, very enjoyable.
