Cellar temp.
Pours huge head, way too much.
Really nice deep red color, very clear, tan head that laces OK.
Aroma roast vanilla, nice floral accent.
Mouth feel very thick. Very very thick. Doesn't coat, heavy carb cleanses, too much.
Flavor is chocolate, sweet but not cloying, with a nice toasted malt accent that is not astringent. Slight fresh hop floral taste, kind of earthy.
Finish, clean, but primarily from high carbonation, hop bittering in background, leaves a sweetness behind. Not dry.
Overall, too much carbonation, but that helps with the heavy body. Malt flavor profile is ideal, could mash at lower temp, and bump aroma hops. Bittering is about right. Almost stouty, but just shy.
