Brewed with 11 malts, it fills the mouth with a roasted espresso-like flavor, then ambles off with a long-lasting chocolate finish. It'll be a bit challenging for those accustomed to light lagers, but give it a chance to warm up in a large snifter, and you'll find yourself slowly collapsing into the pleasing warmth of your La-Z-Boy. I'm drinking one as I write this, and I'm astonished by how fast - even at 9.5 percent alcohol by volume - it's disappearing from my glass.
