Brewed for Bottleworks by Stone brewing of San Diego.
13 malts 13 hops, but "only" 11%abv.
Pours almost black with a thick tan head.
Aroma is alcohol and rich malt aromas with some toffee and black licorice notes.
Flavor is initially dominated by roast malt, chocolate, and smokey peat malts. As the beer warms strong alcohol notes come to the front, and with the smokey peat bring a scotch whisky profile to prominence.
Mouthfeel is thick and creamy with a bunch of alcohol warmth. Finishes with a strong lingering coffee-like bitterness.
A very big, very interesting strong ale.
