In short: A nice fruity dark ale, kind of like an Abt-light. I liked it
How: Bottle 22oz. Exact age unknown, probably almost one year of age, bought somewhere in PA some times ago and many months later this beer still has no rating?!?!?
The look: Very dark burgundy body (near black), some particles, small beige head
In long: Nose is raisins, freshly baked fruit cake, light notes of chocolate. Taste is a nice oily fresh black cake, lots of fresh dark fruits and raisins, a bit of chocolate fudge, mild tobacco leafs presence. Fruitiness was particularly engaging and complex in this beer. Body is a bit light a so called 7% Belgian Ale. This really tasted like an ABt-Light. Black Mariah is such a politically incorrect name, the beer should be called Mariah of color, and Disney should rename their classic movie to "Snow Caucasian woman an the Seven Little People".

Bottled on 1/7/2012 ... 8.5% abv ... Black pour ruby hue thin khaki/beige head looks like a stout ... aroma is of dark chocolate, dark fruits (raisins), roasted and some belgian candy sugar ..... taste is of dark chocolate/cocoa, belgian candy sugar, dark fruity yeast (raisins), caramel malts, roasted and light bitterness that finishes dry and of bitter cocoa .... mouthfeel is thin, oily and abv is hidden very well .... sessionable and tasty
