Apr 17, 2008 Nice label on this brown bottle. Has a mild aroma of used engine oil soaked with gasoline. Pretty much flat but there is a slight creamy tingle noticeable with each slug. Taste is surprisingly not overpowering yet has some imperial stout qualities. Coating burned watery wood. Not as viscous or chocolaty as the label would suggest but it is certainly roasty. Mild wet campfire charcoal for a finish.

Apr 14, 2008 Rich dark color with mahogany edges. Lots of chocolate malt in the nose. Flavor starts with lightly roasted chocolate malts, some hoppy bitterness comes out in the middle and finishes lightly sweet and bitter. A bit chalky in the mouth feel, not a lot of complexity, some faint hints of dark fruit, but nothing pronounced. Solid but non spectacular.

Apr 12, 2008 Updated: Jun 7, 200812 ounce bottle- pours out black with a short lasting tan head. Aroma was wonderful, coffee and smoke. Taste was all toasted coffee and dark fruit, excellent. Mouth feel was smooth as silk. As soon as I finished it, I wanted another. Well done!

does not count  Apr 11, 2008 A dark black beer with an almost non-existing foam ring that released a roasted coffee bean and malt aroma, with a mild bitter taste; resembling that of dark chocolate but seemed too lessened with the following mouthful.

Apr 6, 2008 12oz brown bottle from The Lighthouse in Manchester. Pours an opaque black body with a thin film of tan head. Smells roasty and malty. Tastes very roasty with nutty and earthy hops toward the finish. Full rich mouthfeel with moderate carbonation. Fairly drinkable, though definitely more of a sipper, which is to be expected for the style. A tasty solid ale.

Apr 5, 2008 Bouteille de 330 ml, acheté le 4/4/08 au LCBO de Rideau et King Edward (Ottawa), bu le lendemain. Brune brulée, petit collet. Arome de malte chocolaté bien présant, des notes de céréals croustillants, surtout de l’orge. Goût de fruits rouges mi-sûrettes, un peu de cacao, pas trop amère. J’ai bien faite d’acheter plus qu’un!
