The bottle says it is ale brewed with natural flavors, the natural flavor apparently being orange peel.  This 6.0% ABV beer pours jet black in color, with a massive, overflowing head of billowing, thick, tall, sea foam-like, brown foam.  The aroma is dark roasted malt, dark chocolate covering fruit, mostly orange.  The taste is deep dark roasted malt, coffee, dark cocoa, and orange peel, with a very bitter and dry finish.
