Life & Limb
(Served in a snifter) A- This jet black beer has a matrix of microbubbles popping up to support a light tan creamy head for most of the beer. S- There is a dark roasted malt and dark chocolate aroma that comes through with some faint white sugar notes. T- The soft candy sugar taste competes with the boozy flavor but everything else is covered to start. As the beer opens up notes of dark cola and roasted hints come through with some white wood notes. There is a black roasted note and bitterness at the finish that is not hops. M- This beer has a medium mouthfeel with a soft alcohol heat that grows quickly to an alcohol spike in the flavor. D- This beer is big on booze and sweetness with not much more going on. It might really help to have it age but that is an investment I don't want to make. It is a nice soft porter without the booze.
