Apr 25, 2008 Nice caramel nose with some fruitiness and light cocoa. Deep crimson in the light looks brown in the glass. A nice eggshell white head and no lacing. Very creamy mouthfeel. Lots of cocoa chocolate in the flavor, nice toffee presence and a crisp, hoppy finish. This is a lovely beer! Thanks André.

May 11, 2008 Tawny body. Slightly tobaccoey, nutty aroma. Full-bodied, nutty, with some chocolate character. Full, sweet finish. Superbly balanced, lots of flavour.

Dark brown color with decent tan head; some good lacing.
Smells very roasty and slightly smoky. Roasted nuts, pecan, hazelnut, caramel and maple syrup all detectable.
Roasted nuts and acidic coffee dominate the flavor. Light cocoa and pecan fade. Good hop balance in this malt show.
Nice medium-bodied mouthfeel and moderate carbonation keep this full-flavored brew very drinkable.

Mar 17, 2008 looks jet black, the brown only shows on the edges in the light. stark white head slowly fell in the center and remained on the rim of the glass. some coffee, mostly roasted nutty aromas. I love the balance between a soft mouthfeel, rising bitterness, and medium roast with each gulp. glides down with some viscosity and finishes of sweet almond.

Apr 10, 2008 Pours dark with a full head with good retention and fluffy lacing. Aromas of nut shells. Full nectar with good carbonation. The texture is soft. Malty and dry roasted with flavors of nut shells, herbs, bubble gum dust, bakers cocoa. Theres a mild hop component that delivers a citrusy bitterness. The finish is bittered well and lasting, dry and snappy. Nice complexities.
