Object Magnitude

◎ Appearance

Nearly opaque dark brown to black, with minimal light transmission through the glass. A modest tan head forms and settles quickly, leaving thin but visible lacing on the walls. The body sits still and dense, with barely perceptible carbonation.

◌ Aroma

Dominant notes of dark chocolate and roasted coffee emerge immediately, layered with oak and vanilla from extended bourbon barrel aging. Beneath these lie subtle dark fruit esters and a gentle alcohol warmth that rises as the beer opens. The nose is complex but never sharp, inviting further exploration.

◐ Taste

Entry is full and smooth, with dark chocolate and coffee leading into a rich, slightly boozy mid-palate. Oak and barrel notes provide structure and subtle dryness, while dark stone fruit emerges in the background. Bitterness is restrained at 65 IBU, balancing the sweetness of the dark malts without dominating.

◑ Finish

Long and lingering, with chocolate and coffee notes gradually fading into dry oak. Alcohol warmth persists gently on the palate, encouraging contemplation rather than quick consumption.
