Santa's Little Helper
Another fantastic beer from Pizza Port! Pours dark, jet black with a nice tan head. The aroma is full of roast, charcoal and some fig-like esters. The moutfeel is exceptional - full bodied and thick with appropriate carbonation. The taste is very rich. There are dominant espresso and bittersweet chocolate notes. The alcohol comes in slightly at the end, but is expected with a 9.5% RIS. The finish lingers, and begs for another sip. Very drinkable, and one of the better RIS I've had.
