Deep brown colour with a tan head. Roasted malty aroma with a slight chocolate sweetness and hints of yeast. Burnt malty bitter flavor with light sweet notes.

bottle huge thanks to SoLan for cracking this one open: pours a dark brown with a creamy tan head that settles quickly. aroma is a bit strange at first. some tart fruit berries i believe good chocolate adn some floralness like fresh flowers. no roast in this beer that i thought would be there. flavour is a fizzy smooth chocoalte, some tart and bright floral and hints at tart fruit again. very tasty and easy drinking a little lite in the finish but still agreat drinking beer.

bottle-pours a retaining tan head with black color. Aroma is rich chocolate, dark malt. Taste is chocolate, dark malt, some dark fruit? Minimum carbonation. Nice.

Black. Thick cocoa-colored, creamy, sudsy head. Nice creamy chocolatey nose. Creamy and lovely rich and delicious mid-palate: smoke, liquorice, chocolate, roast. Mild, brief finish. Delicious.

Interesting beer and I wondered if there was a bourbon element but discovered it was the chocolate substitute which gives it almost a bakers chocolate flavor. Ever eat those bitter bakers chocolate bars before baking and think hmmm, how bitter? Imagine it in a beer with a decent alcohol kick, unintentional sour flavors and vegetables. The mouthfeel has decent carbonation and it looks nice and dark though. Bottle at River St. Ale house in Pittston, PA.

Chocolate nose with roasted malts and some vanilla. Pours black with a tan head. Smooth chocolate, with some chocolate yogurt, its very smooth but a little too sweet for me.

Medium body with a smooth texture. Medium dark chocolate flavor with a medium dry dark sweet finish of moderated duration. Refreshing complex beer.
