Jan 26, 2008 (bottle) Pours dark brown with a tan head that settles quickly. Aroma is nice and features toasted nut, cocoa, chocolate, and tart berry (can’t tell which one though). Taste turns immediately to dark chocolate, then a slight cola flavor. This flavor then gives way to the tart berry I picked up in the aroma, and yields to a nice light roast/hop bitter finish. Medium mouthfeel. This is a pretty good sessionable beer, and has a decent amount of complexity.

Jan 26, 2008 Dark and brown in color with reddish edges and a creamy head. Aromas are a bit sugary with cherry and roasted grains. Smooth texture, hopcit on the finish. Nice amount of carbonation. Tastes overwhelmingly of whole-grain toast. Some coffee. Rather plain. Lots of breakfast notes in here.
