Nice and thick looking, not disappating in lace or head. But disappointing thin structure, with a burnt finish.

nice deep mahogany our with a large creamy tan head. The aroma is oily almost like a big Belgian. The flavor is deep like belgian. There are honey and clove hints through out. Pretty good. A nice winter beer.

Aroma- Roasted malts, Slight chocolate and caramel Appearance- Clear brown, thin off white head, little lacing Flavor- Lightly bitter, nice roasted malt flavor, some chocolate and caramel flavors.

Pours a very dark brown with a large white head. This brew has an aroma that is mostly a roast malt with some hints of chocolate. The taste is underwhelming as is the body and texture. This beer impersonates a dark full bodied beer with its looks, but it is as thin and as your typical lager and almost not much better when it comes to taste. I will continue looking to Elevator for beers but I will not be getting this again.

on tap-pours a tan head and brown color. Aroma is dark malt-chocolate, spice. Taste is sweet dark malt-chocolate/roasty, spice hops that cuts the malt from mid to back palate.

12 ounce bottle from Whole Foods Market Dublin/Columbus. Pours a clear reddish brown with a large frothy tan head. Above average head retention and decent lacing. Aroma of dark malts, faint roasted malts and chocolate, and a bit of plastic. Faint herbal hops. The taste is chocolate, nutty notes and a bitter hop finish. Thin-medium bodied. Decent.

12oz bottle. Nice, clear brown color, minimal head, some lace. Good, toasty, nutty aroma. Light, bitter hops evident. Just a bit of chocolatey sweet coffee stout taste. Crisp carbonation, a good crest in the flavor. Nice, malty aftertaste.

Refrigerated bottle poured into a shaker. Pours medium brown with ruby/amber hightlights and small beige head. Body is a little thin, small lacing, and watery texture. Taste is roasted malt and hops in the finish. Just average.

Dark brown with some light coming through the color. Has an off-white head, decent retention. Smells of roasted malts, yeast and hints of chocolate. Taste is similar with some nice hop balance. Good sting on the tongue from the carbonation. Lighter bodied than I expected, but extremely drinkable.

Travis brought this one to the Memorial Day Party. Sampled from a 12 oz brown bottle this beer poured a very dark brown color with a large foamy beige head that lingered and left good lacing. The aroma was dry, roasty and woody. The flavor was dry, roasty and woody with notes of cola and faint vague fruit. The finish was long, dry, roasty and with lingering wood and cola. Medium body. Ok.

Dark brown pour. Meaty aroma, beef jerky, smoked malt, pencil shavings in the nose. Flavor has some light smoke, jerky notes, porcini mushroom. Unique beer!
