Jun 4, 2008 Pours an extremely dark black color with a short-lived tan, bubbly head. Aroma is of dark roasted/burnt malts, some coffee, a bit of hoppy bitterness. Flavors were very rich and sweet with a lot of dark-roasted/burnt/smoky malts, a load of bitterness, espresso, some honey-like sweetness and alcohol. Pretty heavy beer, took me quite awhile to drink... very nice stuff, i’ll definitely keep this one in the repertoire.

Jun 4, 2008 They had it at the liquor store for 3 bucks a bottle, MUCH MUCH better then the garde, that one wasn’t near as good. Smells really good, goes down a bit bitter but overall has a decent amount of flavor. Not a bad way to spend 3 bucks.

Jun 3, 2008 Bottle. Pours very dark, almost black, but still brown with a medium brown head. Aroma is chocolate and roasty with some hoppiness. Flavor is lightly sweet and chocolate, maybe a hint of anise, roasty, with some light grapefruit. Creamy mouthfeel. Very nice.

Jun 2, 2008 Very impressive! Black as a cup of Starbucks coffee with a thick tan head. The head leaves some nice lacing on the glass. Wonderful aroma of coffee, chocolate, and malt. Sweet up front with chocolate and coffee evident. Finishes slightly bitter with some hops and pine. Only a slight alcohol aftertaste. An incredibly good and easy drinking beer considering the alcohol content. Now I have to go watch Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas again.

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.

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.
