Pours with brown head that dissipates quickly. Smell is nutty and a little chocolate. Color is quite a bit darker than prescribed. Taste is nutty and light chocolate followed by slight fruity tang from yeast and then airy metal/rust. There is also sharpness from carbonation. The mouth feel is okay, could be more dextrinous for me. All in all, better than my last attempt, but the chocolate is still too present and I'd like a denser mouth feel.
