Overall: 14/20

Rating: 3.5 / 5

Had from 12 oz. bottle from Hi-Time Wines. Pours dark black with slight tan head which dissipates quickly (leaves thin tan film on top). Slight lacing, carbonation not very strong. Aroma of hops, sugar, chocolate, and alcohol. Flavors are bitter and sweet, of hops, sugar, and more alcohol. Finishes with spices, roastiness, and more sweetness. Overall, a nice collaboration, enjoyable, but not their best.
