I thought I had this dark beer lust whipped, then I got out to do some Christmas shopping. Returning to my fortress of solitude, Folklore from Stillwater Artisanal was staring at me through the glass of the beer fridge. Black as the devil's heart, no on carbonation with a sinfully malt evoking brown ring around the pint glass. The nose is an unassuming charred oak wood and raisin hint. On first taste the roasted flavor is foremost with a slight astringency at the end cloaked only by it's 8.4% warming abv. The body is somewhat thinner than I'd expect but I'd have a another (or three) if inventory allowed.
