Jul 12, 2008 Black, with a huge brown head. toasty, chocolatey aroma - flavor is dark toast and ash and chocolate and coffee. Some winey notes towards the finish. I enjoyed this one.

Jul 11, 2008 12oz - Thick black liquid under dark tan head of large bubbles. Good lace, but no real nose. Nice roasted fromt and hoppy back, but really nothing bridging the two. Better than most locals.

Jul 3, 2008 Nice aroma of black malt and burnt toffee. Huge head sits atop a lightly black beer. Very carbonated, somewhat acrid flavor, lots of black malt, some licorice and sourness. Not very sweet. Hmmmm.

Jul 3, 2008 Bottle. Moderate malt aromas of molasses and burnt, resin for the hops and light earth for the yeast, with wood, licorice and a faint berry smell in the background. Head is huge, frothy, light brown with excellent lacing and is fully lasting. Color is black. Flavor is lightly sweet and moderately acidic to start and finishes moderately acidic and bitter witha touch of sourness. Palate is medium, dry and watery and has a carbonation between lively and fizzy. It finishes moderately astringent. Too many off aromas and flavors sank this beer.
