Chocolate, cocoa and roasted malty aroma, a little hoppy too. Chocolate flavors also come through right in the beginning, and the roast too. But those flavors are accompanied now by a bit of flat cola and stale coffee buddies. There is also definitely more bitterness in this guy than I was expecting based on the aroma. Some lemony citrus rind breaks up any sweetness. Smooth, but a little too smooth, as this beer leans to the flat end of the beer spectrum.
The roasted bitter staleness was not that enjoyable overall. However, I will admit that a little warmth took some of that edge off, though not entirely. Perhaps I am being a little hard on this beer, but I was expecting a bit more after thoroughly enjoying one of the other Unchained Series beers. Honeymoon Saison was fantastic.
