Awesome tasting. A almost thick chocolate taste without being thick. Mild viscosity, very smooth, slaps you in the face with shear awesomeness. Not heavy on the hops, left out the secondary addition hops for a sweeter aftertaste. Worked. Not heavily sweet, just right. Has a slight zing that reminds me of a wild bacteria or Guinness strand. Just that tangy, weird goodness. Might be the hop blend. Highly, highly recommend. Might take this down for a family. So get in.

So that definitely worked. Highly recommend. Taste is thick chocolate but mild viscosity. A strange but familiar zing, like a wild bacteria or Guinness strand. Definitely making another batch, maybe a double. The scent is amazing as well. This winter is going to get sloppy. 9% cold cocoa. Ja, es ist dunkelschwarz bier.

Getting ready to brew a 10 gallon batch for the winter. This makes my favorite list of all beers, commercial included. Top 10. Might make a small change to a 5 gal batch and increase the chocolate taste.
