Thanks to akevitt for sharing. Pours a dark brown body with foamy, light brown head. Aroma of chocolate and caramel with a hint of taffy. Initially, flavors of sweet malts and dark chocolate are present, with the chocolate becoming more dominate in the aroma and taste as it warms. Medium-bodied and smooth mouthfeel. Slight mocha finish with a tinge of hoppiness.

Sep 6, 2008 Opaque dark ruby, fluffy mocha head. Nose is rum, burned malts, banana syrup and dry fruits. Similar burned and rum fruity flavor, alcohol, and a herbal finish. Quite light bodied. Very old school feeling, I’d like it a bit thicker.

does not count  Sep 4, 2008 I was surprised at how dark and thick this beer poured. With its thick flow to its brown head, this resembled a coffee stout more than a porter in appearance. The smell is a lovely, deep chocolate licorice and the taste and mouthfeel is creamy and chocolatey. This beer is so full bodied and full flavored that you’d guess it was a stout. This could be dessert.
