Cellar temp
Pours big tan head, black with brown edges, foam stays, billows
Aroma sweet/soapy roast malt, spice/earth hop buried deep.
Mouthfeel nice thick body but clean
Flavor sweet roast with bitterness on top, followed by vanilla/caramel candy
Finish hop cleansing notable, sweetness blends with chocolate, last impression is battle between hop bitterness and sweet roast malt.
Overall, interesting, big hops are nice feature, but a bit cloying on the sweetness, grain only works because of big hop presence. HG Centennial hops are solid. Brown malt lends smoky flavor to roast, probably a bit much.
