Anchoring this bold bevy are the taste and aroma of charred coffee beans, pitch black dark chocolate and the smell of musty books of the kind you might find in an old creaky mansion house library. A robust 'aged' smoky bacon flavored backbone work to give this aggressively dark seasonal lager, very long attractive legs and in turn my respect and attention. I tip my hat to Magic's for this better than decent contribution.
