greenleaf (90), Florida, USA May 31, 2008 Bottle 12 oz. Pours a dark and deep brown with a light brown head. Nose is chocolate and nutty. Flavor is explosive with creamy chocolate goodness, with a alchol finish that is semi-dry. The beer is full of flavor and very well balanced. renffisch (490), london, Greater London, England May 31, 2008 draught @ the rake. Gorgeous nose, strong rose and cocoa notes. pitch-black colour, beige lacy head. Hearty flavours of liquorice, herbs, alcohol and young spruce. nice almost minty bitter finish. Godly engine oil! Truely remarkable! x bconger (74), Birmingham, Alabama, USA May 30, 2008 Bottle. Black, thick pour with a hot-chocolate head. Smells like bacon with some dark berry, toffee, and espresso. Tastes like a forest fire that was extinguished with coffee. The wonderful hoppy smokiness lingers forever. There are secondary notes of dark citrus. This reminds me of the inside of a humidor – citrus and fine tobacco. An interesting and rather fantastic beer. mpjake (6), Summerville, South Carolina, USA does not count May 29, 2008 Bottle pour. Black with a deep brown head and silky appearance. Moderately sweet up front which turns to a slightly smoky molasses back end. Slightly sticky on the palate. I enjoyed this beer a lot. Great value too for a four pack. jeremytoni (1067), Swedesboro, New Jersey, USA May 29, 2008 From a bottle poured a dark black color with a little dark brown head. Flavor of sweet malt and molasses. Nice strong finish. JonR888710 (999), Cochabamba, Bolivia May 28, 2008 Very black with very dark brown thin head. Smells sweet and hoppy, like an Imperial IPA with chocolate. Taste is strong and sweet, overpowered by peach, mango and pineapple hops. Chocolate is there, so are drying, burnt roasted coffee hops. Alcohol prevalent. Pretty good imperial porter. knights97 (80), Tennessee, USA May 28, 2008 flying dog master piece, great malty taste with a bit of hop taste afterwards, body if full and you can taste chocolate in it. very smooth and hi alc beer for sure. excellent and does Gonzo proud KingpinIPA (842), Milwaukee, Wisconsin, USA May 26, 2008 Dark color.
