330 ml. bottle sampled @ Sneaky Pre-ZZT 2016-1. Black solid mocha bubbles. Nose is roasted grainy cacao cereal, mocha ground, heavy roast, bitter, grainy & low dark fruity berries. Very bitter & roasted taste, very grainy, grainy burned & ashy malts, very dry, lingering heavy bitterness, ashes, low fruity qualities in the background. Massively grainy & roasted, faint sweetness. Quite a bit too heavy on the roast & ashes for me but so is the base beer. Decent brew.
