Ferociousaurus (35), Louisville, Kentucky, USA Jul 18, 2009 Syrupy black pour—great head with lacing. Nose is coffee and a little fruit with ever-so-slight hops. Chewy mouthfeel. Taste is strong coffee with consistent smooth malts. Caramel finish with some hops. Very complex, powerful brew. Awesome, but I prefer Expedition. bigbobdog (36), USA Jul 16, 2009 Pours dark with a light tan head. Aroma similar to taste with some dry toastiness and a little bitterness. A good beer. ditmier (1022), Boise, Idaho, USA Jul 13, 2009 Batch 8927 - Thanks shawnm213! - Pours a thin dk brown with a small tan head...aroma is burnt toast, cocoa, lt malt...flavour is similar, dry roast, coffee, lingering charred grain bitterness...nice and dry, and well balanced... andersand (271), Malmö, Sweden Jul 12, 2009 Lovely fat aroma for a 6% brew, loads of "brown" smells of molasses, chocolate, light caramell, smooth roasted flavours and some coffe. Very big for the ABV, very drinkable and perfectly balanced but the aroma is a just a bit fater and more inviting then the taste actually delivers. hike20 (32), Iowa, USA Jul 9, 2009 Pours nearly black with a thin beige head and nice lacing. Coffee aroma and a little roasted malt. The flavor is complex with some coffee, malt, chocolate and a mildly smoky finish. Medium-heavy mouth feel is satisfying. Not too sweet nor bitter, good balance. Overall quite good and will probably be a regular for me. fata2683 (837), Panama City, Florida, USA Jul 7, 2009 bottle, pours black with a medium tan head. Really nice yeasty and roasted malt aroma. Some oats in there as well. Flavors are fairly sweet with roasted malt being the primary flavor, accented by some molasses and maple syrup. Ends dry with a coffee tone. Mouth is medium bodied with light carbonation. Very drinkable!!! jthg (66), Austin, Texas, USA Jun 30, 2009 This amazing beer starts out with a complex aroma. Rich aroma. The tastes come in as a malty sweetness. the beer finishes with no bitterness whatever. thorongil2 (54), , Ontario, Canada Jun 28, 2009 (bottle) black with small, quickly disappearing brown head; aroma of coffee, smoked longan; flavours of roasted malts, smokiness, quite dry
