Skyview (4007), Papoose Jct., Minnesota, USA Nov 1, 2009 Sampled from 22-oz bomber as Killer Kapowski during Darkness Day 2009 in Brooklyn Center, MN. Pours an opaque dark brown colored brew with light tan head that slowly dissipates to a thin film top. Aroma of caramel malt, dark chocolate, a hint of candi sugar and coffee. Taste is full bodied, flavors of roasted dark malt, chocolate, a hint of coffee and some candi sugar. Finish is semi-sweet that slowly disappears. Ibrew2or3 (2714), Safety Harbor, Florida, USA Nov 1, 2009 Big thanks to fishingnet for scoring yet more tasty Flossmoor brews. Pours deep mahogany with tan head. The aroma has chocolate, some roast and then it seems to move into thick dark fruity esters. The taste begins creamy with some velvety pelt like fuzziness bringing a touch of earthiness and then rich chocolate. By midway it moves into more earthiness and loads of musty prunes, dates and figs. It ends with drying roastiness and chocolate. All the chocolate is pretty darn yummy and amazing but pulls this a bit out of style. But big deal. It’s damn good. Bhops (329), Dallas, Texas, USA Oct 31, 2009 bottle thanks to ilovedarkbeer. Pours dark brown/black with thinnish head. Aroma of chocolate and vanilla. Flavor is ash, malt, caramel, coffee.. everything good. Really good beer. SuzyGreenberg (1318), Seattle, Washington, USA Sep 30, 2009 22 oz. bottle - second time trying this one; thanks Tom and Colin!! thin, cola brown with aromas of toffee and bread; texture is quite thin and comes of slightly on the sweet side; raw candy and sugar; love the nose, but comes off kind of bland travita (1851), Frisco, Texas, USA Sep 15, 2009 Bottle thanks to ilovedarkbeer. The smell is malts, chocolate, coffee, toasty, and roasty. The look is brown to black in color with a beige colored head. The taste is malts, roasty, coffee, and chocolate. Sammy (3934), Toronto, Ontario, Canada Aug 25, 2009 First Flossmoor, risng star, Black is the colour, a tiny Caesar head, perhaps truncated by cap crooked off...a little worse for shipping but still a great baltic. Mellowed, as understated carbonation perhaps reflecting shipping, coca-cola-ish mixed with Baltic. It refreshes, its on the sweet side. Above average mouthfeel.
