Poured a deep mahogany/brown and absolutely headless. Hazelnut & toffee aroma with mild alcohol and maple syrup. A little sticky, a little dirty, mostly mid-bodied but a little on the thin side. Flavors find mild chocolate malts with a touch of bitterness to finish while the aftertaste was semi-sweet. I drank it and immediately forgot that RAYBOY was at the pub... so I had another.

Oct 9, 2009 Dark brown color with a smaller tan head. Aromas of dark chocolate, caramel and touch of dough. Flavors start fairly sweet with caramel and nutty malt. Middle added chocolate and darker malts. Finish stays a bit on the sweet side with a black malt bitterness. The goat still lives!

Jun 2, 2009 On tap at the Wrigleyville brewpub before a Cubs game. Pours dark reddish brown with a beige head that disappears without a trace. Aroma is roasty coffee and malt with a little chocolate. Flavor loses a little of the coffee. Thin bodied with an astringent roasty finish.

Apr 28, 2009 Draft at GI. Dark brown pour with an off white head. The first thing I smelled was a good bit of roast, followed by an odd charcoal aroma and some light chocolate. Flavor was quite toasty and lacked much of a body. Way too thin for me.

Apr 24, 2009 On tap at clybourn. Dark brown almost opaque black with small beige head. Subtle smokey aroma with dry roasted malt. Flavor is smokey with some raspberry/raisin, prune, some roast, sweet, yeasty. Mediun to light body with light carbonation. Interesting, I don’t know if I am completely into but sessionable.

Apr 15, 2008 Draught at Goose Island Tavern, Chicago, Illinois. An okay porter that poured a rich brown colour and the aroma of caramel. It had well-balance flavours of spice, malt and hops though it was a bit too thin for me.
