This is tasty and just perfect for my after dinner beer tonight. Has a nice medium to heavy (more towards the heavy side - especially as you finish) char taste with some dark chocolate, flavorful dark roasted malts and coffee/more towards espresso to it. Has just a touch of a lactose to give it a tad bit of sweetness that counteracts with the bitterness but still on the bitter side. Overall just well done and a tasty treat. A true 4. A little less char would have made me rate higher
