Bottle from Liquid Solutions. Pours very dark brown with a very large tan head. Aromas of chocolate and some sort of fruit. Full bodied with rather smooth carbonation. Flavor is dark chocolate, dark roasted malt, and something like plummy. Finish is quite unbitter, except for chocolate. Seems to be a little vinous. Quite interesting and good.

Bottle. Pours a brune body with a tan head. Sweet malty caramel, roasted malt character and some light char. A mild etoh warming licorice and a hint of vanilla. Molto bene.

This was a very tasty, well balanced, and superbly made brew. Was quite black in the glass and could have easily been mistaken for a Stout based on appearance alone. Smell was certainly chocolate oriented with some anise and caramel rounding it out. Coffee taste is strong in the finish...strong and bitter with a peppery spice bite. The smooth, creamy malty body was another highlight. Be warned: there was sediment on the bottom of the bottle so if you’re one of those people who don’t want that stuff in your drink, pour the last bits carefully.

A gusher - like pouring coke over ice cubes. Dark beer. Bittersweet chocolate, cocoa lingering in the finish. A little espresso as well. Some over ripe fruit, plums, a little yeast, a hint of alcohol. Would probably be better after spending some time in the cellar.

Bottle sampled on 12/27/07: Pours a barely transparent dark mahogany with a stringy-lacing light tan head. RIch cocoa powder and dark chocolate nose has a touch of carob and clove spice. Body starts a little thinner and effervescent with some mild dark chocolate and cocoa nibs flavor toward a drier richer bittersweet dark chocolate finish. A very interesting and fairly complex brew.

Bitter chocolate, chestnut and an off flavor present in the smell. Urinal cake, like another review mentioned? Fair enough description of the off smell. Semi-astringent chocolate in the taste. The use of cacao and carob probably serve to give it that character, along with a chestnut-like nuttiness. A rather unique beer, but unique in a bad way. The flavors don’t fully meld, the body is a tad thin and astringent, and the smell is just bad. Not recommended, especially for the price you will have to pay.

Bottle. Pours a dark brown color with a small tan head. Has a slightly fruity malty chocolate aroma with some hints of vanilla. Sweetish malty fruity chocolate flavor. Has a warming fruity chocolate finish with some hints of vanilla in the aftertaste.
