Nice dark color, creamy head. Sweet aroma. Flavor was a little sweet and chocolatey, also creamy. Smooth finish as well. I thought it was ok.

500 ml bottle. Dark ruby red and a hint of brown. Throws a tall creamy light brown head. Lightly sweet nose and a distant roastiness. Dark caramel and chocolate. Crisp bitterness at first. Then more malty flavours and a clean chocolate flavour. Surprisingly bitter. A really nice dark strong ale, but this one clearly not a session ale as it is too roasted and too potent.

nice pour, head could be a bit more though. pours dark brown, close to black. fuller-bodied beer. caramel creme nose, mixed with light hops and strong malts. taste follows, also chocolate malts with a coffe and bittersweet delicately balanced smooth finish.

Very dark amber, moderate head, decent lacing. Aroma brings spicy hops, caramel, chocolate, earth. Medium bodied, enjoyable for the style.

Bottle: a rich clear chestnut colour with a thick and creamy caramel coloured head; a bitter aroma with traces of coffee and boiled cabbage; thinner in the mouth than expected, with roast malt flavours and then a strong bitter burnt aftertaste. A pwerful beer that makes its presence felt, but rather one-dimensional.

Enjoyed in a 16.9 oz bottle at the movies. Slight roastiness, medium to full body Ale delights the palate. A little too watery for me but it is definately a great brew for the flicks.
