Jul 7, 2007 Dark brown, maybe even black. Roasted aromas. Acidic coffee flavors dominate with some weird bitterness in the ending.

Jun 29, 2007 Thanks to Maniac for this growler sample. Pitch black with slight tan at the edge. Some carbonation rises with swirling. Faint coffee aroma. Coffee and chocolate flavors in a medium palate. Decent, but not complex. Overall, not bad.

Jun 24, 2007 Thanks to goldtwins for sharing this. Dark black beer with a thick creamy tan head. Aroma is deep and rich with a prominent caramel /dulce de leche sweetness. Dark coffee and heavy roast over the sweet dark malts. Flavour is oddly thin though, despite the promising aspect of the aroma. Coffeeish with lots of dry roastiness throughout. A bit of tartness in the middle followed by a heavy acrid roastiness. Thinnish finish. It’s okay, but it’s not great.

May 22, 2007 From a nice 1 liter flip-top. Thanks again Jason! Poured a nice deep black color with a beautiful shade of brown foam. Aroma of......whoa......oops, infected bottle. Well, caught at a great time however, just before it became undrinkable. There still remains some nice flavours of hot chocolate and coffee. A rather copious amount of flaked oats and/or barley must have went into this one to give it an exceptionally silky and creamy smoothness which was the highlight for me. With the sour character, I perceived much of the finish as chocolate covered cherries........interesting. Not bad considering it was on its way out.
