Draft at iron abbey. Pours a pitch black. There was no head and little carbonation, maybe something was wrong with the lines at the bar? Taste has lots of dark chocolate and coffees. The oak isn’t coming through like I thought it would. Semi hot alcohol flavors are present, but not terrible.

Draft at brewpub on 12/30/09. Pours deep brown, nearly opaque, with a bit of a ruby hue, capped with a few tan bubbles that ring the glass of the snifter. Aroma of roasted chocolate malt and coffee, with some hops playing a supporting role in the background. Burnt chocolate malt hits the palate first, and is accompanied by dark chocolate and espresso. Some dark fruit and molasses become evident toward the end, but fade as bitter dark chocolate clings to the palate for a lengthy finish.

Very dark brown pour with a medium sized brown head. Really strong lacing. Aroma is roasted malts, with faint hints of chocolate and coffee. Flavor is really rich; sweet and desserty. Creamy mouthfeel and way too easy to drink for a beer approaching 10%.
