pours a thin motor oil black with very little beige head, qiuck to dissipate. Aroma of dark fruit, raisin, chocolate, malt. Flavor has roasted malt abound, the alcohol is delightfully poignant to the tongue, and the chocolate becomes more prevalent as well. Nice mouthfeel, excellent beer.

Aug 20, 2008 Pours to a pitch black, thick in body and a small tan head, the strength of this beer is the smooth, malty taste balanced with a wood taste, not overpowering nor leave any bitter after taste that lingers like other beers while at the same time, hiding the 12% alc. Great beer,

Aug 20, 2008 Really dark brown to black pour with pretty caramel head of tiny bubbles. Great lacing. Surprisingly sweet smell, but a solid roasted backbone. Sweet and creamy in the mouth. Huge and bold, not unlike alot of Dogfish offerings. Alot of smoke in the finish, which was interesting and set this beer apart kind of. Huge malt and sugars. Very good.

Aug 19, 2008 Bottle. Poured black with a thin tan head. Sweet aroma of caramel and milk chocolate backed with light fruits (cherry?). The flavor had caramel, chocolate, and dark fruits, with a nice vanilla backing. Medium to full body and smooth carbonation. Very nice!
