Smooth pour leaves a nice black body with a trace brown head around the rim. Scent is deep roasted coffee fused with a massive dark chocolate kick. Finishes with biscuity taste and a hint of vanilla. Mouthfeel is mostly smooth with a little carbonation to liven it up. Taste is like coffee and chocolate duking it out and both are so strong that they overpower the other tastes of vanilla and biscuit. The aftertaste is largely ashen/cinder from the roast coffee and a nice burn to round it all. A great dessert stout with a punch.
