Jan 17, 2009 12 oz bottle - thanks MatSciGuy! Pours black with tannish brown head that recedes quickly. Flavor is full on roasty, rich malty notes. If I didn’t know any better, I’d be thinking "Dry Stout." Nice synergy between the hops and the carbon from the roasting.

Jan 11, 2009 12 oz bottle. Pours a thick black color with a nice sized brown head that has decent retention and nice lacing. Aroma is heavy, heavy burnt chocolate, roasted malt and coffee. Very rich. Flavor is dominated by heavy roasted chocolate malts and a touch of coffee. Very roasty! AWESOME! This beer is wonderful and very easy to drink, especially for how big and rich it is. Tasty tasty. This is NOT for those "I don’t like dark beer" people.

Jan 9, 2009 Pours black with a roasty brown head. At first aroma is faint with hints of vanilla, cocoa and chocolate. The flavor was very smooth and had subtle fllavors of malts, semi sweet chocolate, dark fruit and coffee.
Very Well Done

Dec 30, 2008 DTM scored this one in trade, and we aged it for a few months before drinking (mainly because we still have too many to drink). In any case, this one had flavors of chocolate and coffee, mostly chocolate. Not the smoothest as there was some sourness and unbalanced something to it.

Dec 22, 2008 Bottle from a trade with St. Fun. Poured a black color with a tan head. Smelled of roasted malts. Definately had the flavor of roasted malts, coffee and chocolate. I little harsh on the palate to rate it with the elite, but still a great beer.

Dec 19, 2008 Deep dark blackish color with tan head. Aroma of chocolate and roasted malts. Roasty flavor, with coffee, smoke, chocolate, and a bit of sourness. Pretty solid, pretty awesome.
