A grand beer, however on tap it has an almost vodka-ish flavor due to the alcohol, a little too yowza for me.

UPDATED: FEB 5, 2003 Nice aroma. Beautiful black appearance. Medium to full body. Too hoppy. Not as much roasted chocolate flavors as expected. I'm going to cellar for 6 months and try again.

Dark and syrupy. Bitterseet chocolate with a hint of coffee. Nice alcoholic finish. Try this with Chocolate Expresso Molten Lava Cakes!

UPDATED: OCT 27, 2005 (10/27/05, 12oz, 2005-06 bottle) Small brown head atop a brown-black body. Aroma is medium sweet, bittersweet chocolate, roasty, some coffee. Alcohol smell creeps in as it warms. Taste is medium sweet, roasty, coffee, dark chocolate, some dark fruit, light salty. Malty bitter. Alcohol nips at you in the finish. Smooth medium-full body. I still like it, but not quite as much as I used to. Has my palate developed, or has the beer regressed? A little of both, I expect. (7/4/8/5/16)
(2/11/02, 12oz, 2001-02 bottle) A beautiful beer. Chocolate aroma and flavor. You can taste the alcohol, but not in a loud way. Very balanced, with a delicious bittersweet aftertaste. (9/4/9/5/18)

Black in color; Chocolate cake in the nose- homemade chocolate cake, not that stuff you buy in the store; Nice head with khaki color that sticks around awhile. A fantastic beer. Not heavy on the roasted flavors- it skips right to the chocolate. I keep coming back to a cake flavor rather then say, a chocolate bar. Doughyness I suppose. I also had the privilege of trying a one year old bottle, and I have to say that it does not improve with age. It was very similar.

A totally opaque beer with big chocolatey and hoppy nose. Chocolate and malt in the flavor.Definitely a favourite

Dark black with creamy brownish head. Roasty chocolate aroma, softly malty, full bodied. Lots of salty liquorice and dark chocalte in the palate. Bitter finish. A thoroughly well made and tasty beer.
