Sep 28, 2009 Taster, Bavarian Lodge. Sweet black malt smell with matching black color. Taste is not as sweet as the smell, mostly because of the alcohol warmth. Has a definite Belgian twist on the stout style. Sweetness and alcohol are balanced by roasty malt bitterness.

Sep 22, 2009 Wow. Pleasantly surprised by this beer. Served on draft. I tend not to like Belgian yeasts, so I wasn’t expecting to like this much, but the combination of the roasted malt with the yeast blended so well. Perhaps I’ve grown somewhat tired of conventional stouts, but the lack of an overt sweetness, and the melding of the elements of this beer made me enjoy something I otherwise might not.

Sep 15, 2009 This beer was great. Pours dark and is silky smooth. The heavily roasted malts make the body of this beer really hold up against any stout. I’d have this one again.
