Aroma: Moderate malt, (unsweetened dark chocolate, coffee, light malt sweetness.) No hops or esters, clean. No diacetyl. Appearance: Black with ruby edges when held to light. Thick, creamy light tan head with good persistence. Crystal clear. Flavor: Moderately high malt, (dark roasted coffee, dark, unsweetened chocolate, toasty.) Medium high hop bitterness. Bitter in balance with a very dry, roasty finish. No hops, esters or alcohol, clean. Aftertaste of roasted malt. Mouthfeel: Medium body, smooth & creamy. Medium low carbonation. Med. low roast derived astringency, no alcohol. Overall Impression: Dry, bitter, roasty and true to style. Very drinkable, could reduce hop bitterness a bit and maybe have just a slight amount of malt sweetness if I'm being picky, if not it's perfect.
