dkachur (641), Charlottesville, Virginia, USA May 15, 2008 Bottle from Wine Warehouse Charlottesville.
Pours ruby-reddish brown with a medium head. Very roasty aroma. I get a very specific taste of honey roasted peanuts. Also, some bitter coffee. This is tasty.
The_Captain (251), Lancaster, Pennsylvania, USA Jul 21, 2008 Fresh from the brewery in Frederick MD- Poured a black coffee with nice foam ruddy tan head & lacing. Mild Coffee, chocolate, roasted aroma quality with this carrying into the pallet. It has some mellow bitterness which evens it out, giving it a pleasant taste.
The malt fills the pallet, relaxing. Picked up a growler of this even though I live about an hour and forty five away from the brewery! BrianDorry55 (7), Spring Hill, Florida, USA does not count Jul 20, 2008 Aroma of burnt coffee and chocolate. Pours black with a thin brown head, awesome bottle design is a plus and great for my collection. Flavor is smoky, roasted black coffee, chocolate, not too strong liquor. Easy on the palate for this dark of a beer...leaves that nice smoky, warm feel on the tounge. Overall this beer has great flavor and easy to drink for being so dark..."Good Beer, No Shit." BrewCzar (32), St Louis, Missouri, USA Jul 20, 2008 Bottle pours dark brown almost black with a small light brown head. Aromas of sweet dark dried fruits, cherry, and alcohol. The flavor is sweet smoke, berries, roasted malts, oak, slight chocolate, with a touch of bitter hops to finish it off. abcfan (138), USA Jul 20, 2008 Very nice brew. Poured black with a nice brown foamy head. Chocolate and espresso aromas dominate up front. Nice burnt coffee taste, with a oily feel in the mouth. Nice bitter finish. Would drink again. FunkyBrewster (109), Chicago, Illinois, USA Jul 20, 2008 Pours a dark brown black with a nice thick light brown froth. Looks a lot like espresso. Aroma is mostly chocolate and coffee/espresso. A bit of hop but also licorice and a tiny bit of dark fruit. Flavor is very coffee and dark fruit oriented. Nice bitter chocolate finish that lingers and warms. Full bodied and sticky in the mouth feel, this is a great cooler weather sipper, though I am drinking it on a 90 degree day, I couldn’t resist.
