KYackley (32), , Minnesota, USA Oct 18, 2008 Mean beer... you better collect the caps when drinking this so you know when to categorically stop yourself. A deep dark brown color with a dark brown head that lasts and lasts, a heavy malt scent but the alcohol content is impossible to mask, roasted flavor with a creamy finish, overall not my favorite style but it definitely makes me want to grow a beard and build a cabin kosko20 (302), Bemidji, Minnesota, USA Oct 17, 2008 I fucking hate the Boston Red Sox...so what a better way to forget about a shitty game like that than drinking a brew. Pour, black, huge brown head. Aroma...hops!!??!?!!! In a porter!!! Fuck yes! Flavor is awesome as well, hops and malts. This brew is incredibly balanced. I don’t feel like explaining much more cept to just enjoy this brew :) Hophead22 (1056), Redlands, by way of Wisconsin,, California, USA Oct 16, 2008 12oz bottle. Poured exremely dark, with a chocolatly brown head. Nice dark roasty aroma, chocolate in there as well. Tastes fantastic really rich and flavorful, very smooth and delectable. Praetorian (86), Los Angeles, California, USA Oct 15, 2008 Pours like 10W30 with a small light brown head with excellent lacing. The aroma is sweet with notes of roasted coffee, molasses, and chocolate. The Flavor is sweet and smoky with notes of coffee, molasses, and dark fruits. The texture is creamy. It’s an excellent beer...If Hunter Thompson hadn’t blown his brains out while tripping on acid, I’d congratulate him. BMan1113VR (2755), Los Angeles (and Dallas), Texas, USA Oct 14, 2008 2007 Bottle. Pours thick, with a dark brown head, a black body and good lacing. Aroma of alcohol, chocolate, flowery, syrup and coffee. Taste is alcohol, coffee, smoke with dark fruits. Syrupy, warming with light bubbles. Good! Ober (1158), Bommelerwaard, Netherlands Oct 14, 2008 An almost black colored beer, with a dark beige foamed head. The aroma of chocolate, dark malts, dark fruits and grainy. There is also a lot of hop, American hops, strongly present. When you taste the beer, the hop is also there. It predominate the tastes of chocolate, coffee, dark fruits like prunes, blackberries and raisins. It’s bitter. The aftertaste is bitter as well and it’s warm. That stays for a while. gameface23 (131), Haverhill, Massachusetts, USA Oct 13, 2008 Poured pitch black with a dark tan head. Smell was roasted coffee and chocolate and a very slight hint of alcohol. Similar flavor. I thought it was well-rounded with a decent mouthfeel. mybrainhurts (212), North Dakota, USA Oct 13, 2008 Strong aroma of sweetened dark chocolate, coffee, and alcohol. Flavors of chocolate, mild coffee, with dark fruits and an alcoholic bite that tingles the tongue. Fruity and acidic at the back of the throat. Bold and good. Not the tops but I’d get again.
