gws57 (995), Saint Charles, Illinois, USA Aug 17, 2008 Had this one bottled, thanks to Slothgar!! Very dark brown pour with a thick but speedy tan head, oily pour, barbeque sauce and smoke in the nose, lots of nuttiness, coffee, cocoa and soy. Outstanding. jcwattsrugger (4045), Florida and, New Jersey, USA Oct 10, 2007 22oz bottle-pours a thin tan head and black color. Aroma is dark malt-chocolate/anise/acidic. Taste is burnt dark malt-coffee/chocolate/anise/acidic/ash, some of same hops or yeast as IPA? OK carbonation. dirtymike (2019), Manchester, New Hampshire, USA Mar 17, 2005 Black in color with a thick tan head. Roasted coffee aroma and flavor with a touch of smoked character. Mild notes of herbal/medicinal character and spicy hops. Volgon (2462), Manchester, New Hampshire, USA Jan 11, 2005 Black with a good-sized large-bubbled tan head, light roasted aroma with a touch of pepper. Starts and ends lightly bitter, full bodied with a long roasted aftertaste. Lubiere (3324), Ottawa, Ontario, Canada Oct 14, 2004 Deep dark with a moka head. Smoked malt aroma. Nutty smoeky notes come out with somne hops. Lighter bodied but pleasant (considering the others).
