Mar 16, 2008 Updated: Jun 9, 2009Extremely dark brown, almost black with a thick creamy mocha head. Aroma is roasted malt, coffee, chocolate, toffee and a touch of hops. Flavor is sweeter than expected, this sweetness is what strikes first, than, it is roasted malt, chocolate, cherries and wood with a somewhat bitter finish from the malt. Medium to full body with medium carbonation.

Mar 14, 2008 Updated: Mar 16, 2008Bottle - dark brown with an eggshell colour head. , anyhow, coffee - plum aroma, slight chocolate in there too. Light lemon-hop flavour, a little sour. Hmm, I just don’t get it.perhaps due to having a Great Divide Oak Aged Yeti Imperial Stout before hand!

Mar 14, 2008 Yummy watery smoky malt flavor. Followed by sweet brown sugar Then comes a bitterness like you’ve been drinking a hoppy beer. . Scratchy palette. Color is perfect dark and mysterious. It gets better as it gets warmer. Good stuff.

Mar 14, 2008 Poured into a tulip glass. Extremely dark brown, with red hues and a finger of tan head. Some spiderweb lacing adorns the glass.
Aroma is sweet and fruity, with some chocolate and cherry.
Taste is mainly chocolaty, with some caramel too. There’s some cherry sweetness and hop bitterness as well. Nice balance and interesting flavors.
Very smooth mouthfeel but carbonation is a bit low. Really silky and tasty, very good beer.

Mar 13, 2008 330 ml bottle. pours very dark brown with a medium tan head. aromas are very sweet and consist of chocolate covered candy caramel. flavours are sweet as well with the same things goin on as the aromas. some bitterness does show but then is overpowered but the sweetness. very drinkable and smooth but no complexity. enjoyable but forgetable.

Mar 11, 2008 330ml bottle, 6.0% a/v
Absolutely opaque black colour with a nice brown head. Smells strange almost like apricots, pears, espresso and chocolate. The taste is, as the label says, wickedly smooth. Tastes of chocolate,espresso, mild plums, and burnt malt. Very nice flavour, very nice beer.

Mar 9, 2008 Bottle. Pours nearly black and allows just a few twinkles of deep ruby light to pass when held up against sunlight. Moderate light brown head that lasted beyond mid-glass and left spotty lacing. Pleasant aroma of chocolate and roasted malt. The flavor is again chocolate with roasted malt and some light coffee as well, especially near the finish. Very smooth with some light hops bitterness at the close. Good one!

Mar 8, 2008 Bottle: Almost black with thin tan head. Pleasant aromas of burnt coffee beans, dark chocolate and roasted malts. Tastes like toast with molasses and dried figs. Nice body but still not as rich as I’d hoped. Alcohol hides well...sweet end. Solid olde ale.
