4.1 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 18/20
22 oz. bottle from Hayduke with whom it was enjoyed via facebook chat. This pours black with a big funky looking brown head. It has gone beyond tan. The nose is mostly chocolate with some dark fruit. That chocolate dominates the flavor and is simply delicious. There is also some coffee and vanilla. I kept looking for hops but if they are in there they are buried by all of that chocolate malt. This beer is delicious, just delicious. Hops or not this is good. I can only imagine how a whiskey barrel aged version would taste. This is good, that would be nirvana. Thanks so much, Ron!
4.1 AROMA 10/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 17/20
Got a bomber bottle at Bevmo in San Diego, CA. Tasted from a tulip glass. Pours a very dark, murky brown, with a foamy tan head. This beer is such a chocolate bomb...nose is like smelling a really great bar of dark chocolate with hints of alcohol. Flavors follow suit, but add a bit of nutty bitterness and a slight root beer touch...that maybe seems to numb the tongue just a tiny bit? The body on this one seems fizzy and lighter than I expected, so it seems quite drinkable. Delicious overall.

3.3 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Poured dark black, with no head due to no carbonationn, this bottle might have sat too long. Still had faint aromas of coffee, chocolate, and roasted malt. Flavors matched the aromas, with a small amount of dark fruits on the palate. This beer would of gotten a better score if I drank in its prime, but lack of carbonation I think did it in.
