      WAY too much head. Very high carbonation. Amber opaque. Caramelly-perfumey smell. Thick, bitter. Long bitter finish. One-dimensional.

      Black, huge brown head. Coffee aroma. Pretty roasty...lots of black malt flavor. Pretty good body. Long bitterish roasty finish. This is it...the 300th and final beer of the GABF XV trip.
