Pours clear dark brown, little head. Roast malt aroma, hint of smoke& alcohol & sweet. Moderate roast malt flavor. Dry finish. My sample is too small to give a decent review, but this is a good beer.

on draft at DFH brewpub. murky black beer with no head. smell of coffee and chocalte. Taste I think like chocate and peppery. it was ok not my favorite beer of theres

Sampled at the Great American Beer Festival on September 17, 2010. Solid black color with a brown hue. Light brown, almost creamy head. This is going to be interesting… they poured me a big glass. Aroma: not sure what to make of it. It’s a little of roasted malt. Suprprised it’s not more roasted, but it’s great how it is. Peaking my interest... Light, sweet roast, almost like a light porter with possible chiles or some sort of other weird plant/fruit on the back of the nose. Smells great! Almost like a dry coacoa/powdered chile concoction. Wow, this beer is good. Good job, guys! Flavor is simply awesome. These guys cannot make a bad beer. Very well-crafted. I did not expect this to be so good. Pretty smooth and easy on the tongue, just slips past things. Finish has a little of that same powdery something that was in the aroma. Delectable. easy to drink, hits all the right places on the palate.

sample from the pitcher @ GABF on 9/18/10 poured by Sam. deep brown / light black with 1-2 finger tan head. oak nose with some nuts and smoked malts. bitter medium body with some wood notes... nice bitter finish. unique beer - glad I got some - it was worth the long line @ GABF.

On tap at DFH. Poured a deep brown to black with a good, two-finger, fluffy tan head that had excellent retention and lacing. Massive lacing. Cherry Twizzlers, milk chocolate cherry truffles, ashy smoke in the aroma. Taste is spicy, a bit boozy, dry, milk chocolate. Bubbly, chalky palate. Pretty yummy.

Tap at DFH Rehoboth Beach. Murky brown, thick brown head, massive lacing. Aroma of chocolate and Starbucks. Taste is burnt espresso, milk chocolate. Nice hop profile, good balance.
