BBVD
is a jet black ale that pours with a fluffy off-white head. It has a
fairly powerful malt nose that is studded with hefty cocoa notes. To my
tongue, this jumbo stout is packed with chocolate and sweet coffee
elements, and is potently malty. Toward the finish, strong coffee
bitterness is in evidence.
BBVD is a strong ass
beer, but also a cultured and well-crafted one. A touch too sweet,
perhaps, but lusciously flavourful. I'd like hops to play a bit more
assertive role through the body of this beer, though, to elevate it from
very good to excellent.
Rating: 8.0 out of 10.
