Cellar temp
Pours opaque black, big brown head that dies back, clings to edge, laces well
Aroma big bright hop aroma from 1 ft away, close up roasted red wine, stone fruit, malt and a little booze in the background.
Mouth feel, chunky but cleans up very fast, pleasant.
Flavor, big roast without cloying astringency, bitter fruit, woody undertones, booze smothered in hops.
Finish, hop cleansing clears out palate, want more.
Overall, elegant very strong beer, hop balance against alcohol is good, roast/wood flavor goes along for the ride.
