Jul 21, 2008 Pours a dark black colour with a large tan head. Plenty of carbonation, dry mouthfeel. roasted malts, touch of spice and a little oak in the finish. somewhat chocolatey, but mostly what i notice is the dryness.

Jul 2, 2008 Rating bottle - pours black with a tan head. The aroma is malty and sweet spice. Taste is roasted malt with coffee/chicory flavors added in with a slightly bitter finish that is very nice. It’s smooth, but not real creamy and has a nice light fizz. One of my favorite beers!

Jun 29, 2008 12 oz. bottle courtesy santoslhalper. Pours black with chocolate head, one finger, dissipating to an 1/8 inch foam that lasts. Aroma of roasted malts and chocolate and a whole lot of coffee and some anise. Very smooth and rich mouth feel with pleasant and mild chocolate and caramel malt taste at the beginning, followed by a roasted coffee bean/espresso flavor, a bit woody, with a good bitter from the hops. No astringency from the roast in the bitterness. The bitterness lingers for a while and plays with a mild sweetness in the after. Solid offering. It’s got the balls of an IRS, but not the alcohol. It’s quaffable and moderately sessionable, and isn’t very heavy. It’s a good beer.
