Dough77 (705), Aurora, Illinois, USA Apr 11, 2008 Heavy vegetable and soy sauce flavors and aroma. Misses the mark completely. Smoked peat shows its face, lightly albeit.Notes of chocolate and some roasted dark malts. BDR (1810), Roseville, Minnesota, USA Mar 27, 2008 thanks to skyview for sharing. Dark black with no head. Soy and dark malts and molasses on the nose. Soy and faint olives in the dark malt flavor. dmac (709), Toms River, New Jersey, USA Mar 21, 2008 12 oz bottle from tjthresh, thanks Tom. Pours a nice solid black with an average size foamy tan head. Aroma on this one is odd to say the least...notes of black olives, chocolate, roasted malts, and prehaps some old cheese. Average to slightly full bodied with light carbonation. Flaovr is slightly sour and acidic with notes of chocolate and bread. This is my 4th beer of the day and I plan on rating many many more, TGIF!! jayg (952), Florida, USA Mar 18, 2008 Courtesy BBB63. Very dark brown in color with a thin dark tan head. Not much aroma, some toasted grain, a bit of sweetness. Very slight roast on the taste, a suggestion of chocolate, a clean finish. An interesting brew, kind of a lightly roasty lager. Ibrew2or3 (1443), Safety Harbor, Florida, USA Mar 16, 2008 Courtesy of BBB63. Pours deep dark brown with thin mocha head. The aroma has mild fruity esters, blunt earthiness, mild spice and mild dark roasted maltiness. I get a creamy very welcoming mouth feel ushering in rich dark roasted malts followed by medium roasted malts and mild burnt malts. It ends in a flurry with notes of roasty malts, some faint burnt malts, chocolate malts, coffee and faint sweet dark fruity esters
