Dogfish Head Miles Davis Bitches Brew

Tonight on the Discovery Channel, a new series titled "Brewmasters" will be aired. It will follow the brewmaster of Dogfish head around. To celebrate this series (which is going to air in a tad under 2 hours from now) I decided to bring out a special beer from Dogfish Head.

I'll do some copying and pasting from their website to give the overall gist of this beer.

"In honor of the 40th anniversary of the original release of Bitches Brew, Miles Davis’ 1970 paradigm-shifting landmark fusion breakthrough, we’ve created our own Bitches Brew - a bold, dark beer that’s a fusion of three threads imperial stout and one thread honey beer with gesho root, a gustatory analog to Miles’ masterpiece."

This beer pours pitch black with a large creamy off color head. Aroma is huge on cocoa, roasty notes, a tad of honey, and a hint of coffee and caramel. The first sip reveals roast dark malts, a floral like honey, and a touch of earth tones. The body is medium with a smooth, almost oily texture. Carbonation is on the lesser side. This is one very interesting brew. It has a complex flavor to say the least.
