First game of the season and the Crimson Tide is doing good. Love that college football has started again. Starts out with a high and very tan head. Recedes down to just a coating on the top. Aroma has dark heavy malt with notes of coffee. Color is totally dark and opaque. Light and thin texture for such a dark beer. Roasted malt is in the forefront. Faint hints of a nutty background and some dry cocoa. Finish just continues this roasted flavor. This is not a complex beer. Not strong on flavor and does not convey the hazelnut that I was expecting. Not impressed.
