The beer pours jet black. There is an
inch of light brown foam, but it is surprisingly fizzing, and
disappears rather quickly. The aroma is very dark roasted malt, dark
cacao, light coffee, raisins, dark fruits, oak, molasses, sherry, and
very light char. The taste follows the aromas, adding in even more
char, along with all the dark roasted malt, dark fruit, and sweet
notes. There is much sweetness, but the finish is semi-sweet, with
light bitterness. The beer drinks very soft and smooth, very little
carbonation (I'm not sure what that fizzy head was all about). The
beer is warming without being hot at all. This is definitely ready to
drink right now, but as with all BCBS, it will be interesting to see
what some age does to a bottle.
