May 9, 2008 12oz bottle pours dark muddy brown with barely any head, swirling up viscous motor oil syrup on the sides of the glass. Nose of smoked black cherries along with motor oil and rich and charred dark chocolate. Flavor is more the charred dark chocolate, but thankfully it’s not astringent or coarse, but it is dry and woody, with a distinct chocolate cocoa flavor. The rich powdered cocoa really shows up when warmer, and it’s actually really nice. Overall a pretty nice stout, for sure.

Apr 14, 2008 Bottle courtesy of 5000. Pours dark brown with a thin hint of tan bubbles. Smells of light earthiness, touches of sweet malt, some chocolate. Tastes of fruit (cherries, bananas), some bitter hints, roasted malt, some spice, touches of coffee. Mouthfeel is full with alight spicy finish. The subtle cherry touch really makes this beer shine.

Apr 3, 2008 12 oz. bottle from Malt & Vine: Very dark, medium bodied drink. Wonderful roasted malt with a strong wood component. Light fruit notes and some strong licorice and light coffee bean bits. Smooth feel and very dry on the finish.

Mar 7, 2008 Bottle. [thank you, after4ever]
Pours pitch black with a wonderful, creamy brown head. Wonderful exotic aroma. Tobacco, dark chocolate, coffee, vanilla, sugar, port and roasted malts. Quite high carbonation, relatively lively. Slightly oily in feel. Flavour is to the sweet side, with a light fruitiness to the roasted malts. Lots of sweet coffee, dark, mild chocolate. Finish is relatively bitter with a great aftertaste of roasted chocolate.
