Bottle. Pours a deep mahogany with a frothy brown head. Head fades pretty quickly. Definite chocolate-hazelnut vibe to it, with a very creamy mouthfeel. Good beer for sure, one of the best I’ve had from Flying Bison, I think. Almost a little too sweet, though.

(bottle - 12 oz) Reddish brown color with a thin tan head. Aroma is lightly sweet with some roasted and smoked malts along with some caramel. Flavor is much the same. Begins with some caramel malts, some smoke, roasted malts, and a light bitter coffee finish. Smooth and sweet. Not bad.

[1969-20090124] Bottle. Floral grains and weird lake water malt aroma with mild chocolate hints. Clear, dark red body with a quick off-white foamy head. Grainy toasted bread (melba) floral flavour. Medium body. Fair.

Bottle (12oz). Clear deep mahogany pour with a large frothy tan head (4-). Sweet aroma, roast cereal grain and chocolate, floral and dry. The taste follows - sweet, but plenty of woody bitterness to even it out, more dry cocoa than in the nose. Light body, mild carbonation, slight alcohol warmth in the quick finish - sort of a powdery dry chocolate finish. Nice lighter winter drink.
