Jun 7, 2004 Pours a rich oily opaque black with a thick dark tan head. Aroma of caramel roasted malt and sour cherries. Entire body is an overly sour acidic burning mess. Whatever malty complexities that once might have existed have been overrun by an, I’m guessing, infection. Aroma and appearance are its only two redeeming qualities. I wanted to like this one, but the sourness makes it almost undrinkable.

Jun 6, 2004 Updated: Mar 18, 2005Pours a viscous BLACK with a brown head. Aroma is nice, smokey and roasty. Taste is of roasted malt, coffee, hops and cherries. Slightly bitter. What I didn’t like was that it was very sour on the back end. Needs more sweetness. Mouthfeel is full, round and creamy but not as thick as you think it would be. Decent.

Jun 1, 2004 Black with a small kahki head. Aroma is malty and full of chocolate with a hint of plum. Burnt,and roasty with a hint of dark fruits. Could use a bit more body to compete with top notch imperial stouts.

May 26, 2004 Black with no head. Coffie and chocolate powder in the nose. Taste is chalky and rough, the nose is much better than the taste. This just did not do anything for me.

May 26, 2004 Black body with small, brief tan head. Looks great. Aroma is roasted coffee and chocolate and a note of cherries. Mouthfeel was a bit astringent and the flavor not consistent with the aroma. Something lost between the aroma and the taste. Not bad but certainly not exceptional.

Apr 28, 2004 Coal tar Black beer with a creamy brown head. Burnt grain aroma, coffee, caramel citrus. Flavor is tart, bitter chocolate, a bit of bitter for the sake of bitter and molasses but it could be burnt as well. Not one of my top stouts
