Bottled: Dark brown/red coloured. Brown dense head. Smoke, chocolate and sweetness in the aroma. Not so distinct. Chcolate, coffee, and hops in the flavour. Is quite thin bodied. Light sourness in the beer. Might be a little too old. Ends on a light sour bitterness.

Pours tar black. A murky, dark orange/brown color is revealed when held up to the sun. Small, fizzy, light brown head.
The nose is of vanilla, and chocolate. Some cola and smoke as well.
A rich, dark chocolate flavor. Lightly bitter, moderately tart and acidic. Well-balanced.
Full-bodied with a heavy, oily mouthfeel and lively carbonation. Short, dry finish with rye notes. Being a big fan of rye whiskey, I can't help but delight in this beer. Very nice!
3.8 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 16/20
12oz bottle acquired in trade with ClarkVV (thanks!). Poured a dark black, with red edges, and an averaged sized tan head. Aromas of rye, roasted malts, bread, and some dark fruits. Tastes of bread, chocolate, some coffee, rye, roasted malts, caramel, and dark fruits. I found the aromas to be on the stronger side compared to the tastes (product of the age?). Body was also a little on the thin side. Lacing left on the glass. Overall all a very good beer that I’m glad I had the chance to enjoy!
