COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
A well balanced medium bodied dark ale. A smooth chocolate and roast malt flavor backed with a healthy amount of East Kent Golding hops. Don't be afraid of the dark, give this one a try!

Black with dark crimson edges. The aroma is full & roast with dark malts, light black patent & apparent fragrant hops. The flavor is charred with some sweetness & astringent black malts. The finish is creamy, smooth.

3fourths (6399) - Boulder, Colorado, USA - DEC 22, 2003
Some brown light around a mostly black body. Dark chocolate and coffee in the aroma. Somewhat thick, gritty and with a big chocolate malt presence. Very roasty and robust. Other than some bad wheat characteristics in the aroma, I enjoyed this.
