Roasted, malty, chocolatey taste with a pleasant bitterness with chocolate and coffee being noted. Very nice. Bier brauen (210), Bremerton, Washington, USA Jan 25, 2008 About as black as black can be. No head. Not much aroma that I could smell. Roasty, coffee, and slight smoke. Finishes with very mild hop bitterness. 17thfloor (1402), Chicago, Illinois, USA Jan 24, 2008 Black pour with minimal tan head (55degrees). Slightly woody and a tiny bit of chocolate, but mostly dark fruit in the aroma. Smooth sweet dark malt flavor. The cask aging to the special reserve really adds another dimension that this beer completely lacks. Still a great beer, but not quite as good.
