Pours deep black with dark brown lacy head. Aromas of roasted malt and coffee. Flavor is mostly roasted malt but finishes with traces of coffee and caramel. Nice brew overall, but lacking something.

Pours out black with a nice brownish head. Aroma is of roasted malt and some chocolate. Taste is very complex and smooth. Roasted malt, molasses and some nice creamy sweetness in there. Solid.

BOTTLE: 6150. Dak pour with excellent beige head and lacing. Aroma is strong roasted coffee. Flavor is somewhat mild but delectable. Livens up the mouth with a short finish. Very drinkable but not very complex or robust.

(USA) Deep brown color with a sm- tan head. There is a slight molasses / chocolate aroma with a smooth creamy toffee taste. (Yummy) Well balanced and very drinkable. This one will go down nice and easy. Please go get some !!!!

On tap pours a pitch black. Tan head lasts a while and laces the glass as you drink it. Smells like a sweet roasted coffee. Tastes like a sweet roasted coffee, too. Good brew.

Nice fine carbonation creates a pillowy head that adheres to the glass. Smells of dark chocolate, roasty coffee/chickory, faint molasses and hops. Tastes moderately roasty, chocolatey, has a very smooth mouthfeel, nice full malt body and sweetness, dextrinous. Very drinkable beer, delicious and would probably still be pint after pint after pint-
