Another inspiring offering (circa 2013) via fabulous Maine brewery. Splendid mocha-smoked Baker’s chocolate, cacao nibs, dark chocolate and espresso overtones embitter the front end while oats-flaked molasses breading, brown chocolate, cookie dough and gooey anise sweeten the back. Ashen hop-charred pine resin deepens the finishing bitterness of well-integrated medium-full body. On tap at Julian’s, dryer cocoa-chalked black coffee and darker chocolate malting received minor sour cherry snip.
