Pours a pitch black color with a small tan head. Malty aroma with hints of dark chocolate. Taste is malty with a smooth chocolaty finish.

liquorloft tallahassee, extremely smooth. the pour was beautiful, pitch black with a small tan head. the aroma. aroma is heavy, sweet malt and chocolate. the taste is well balanced and smooth malt and chocolate. roast and sweet. finishes with no bitter after taste. the feeling on the tongue is thick and creamy. well balanced and complex.

Pours a virtually black body with a foamy tan head. The foam settles slowly to a wispy film with a bubbly edge. Sudsy lace coats the glass well in a random fashion. The aroma shows baker’s chocolate, darkly roasted caramel, Coca-Cola, light molasses, and hints of coffee with cream. The flavor is considerably more roasty than the aroma indicates. Burnt caramel dominates, accompanied by bitter chocolate and coffee flavors. Nougat makes an appearance, as does a small amount of sweet molasses. The bitterness is more than I was expecting, especially on the lingering finish. Smooth, medium-full, slightly syrupy body. This is a decent brew, but I much prefer the whiskey-barrel aged version.

Bottle. Trappist glass. Dark brown almost black color with small tan head. Strong roasted chocolate malt aroma. Taste also has sharp coffee and strong whiskey taste. Medium to full bodied. Flare up of alcohol, whiskey, spice, and smoke/peat in the finish.

Pours an oily dark brown with a tiny light brown head. Smells of roasty dark malts, some dark fruits, and nuts. Nice aroma. Tastes of dark toasted malts, roast, maybe even a touch of some smoke in there too. Nice full body, rich, and warming on the palate. Tastes almost like a smoked porter of some sort. Not really fruity, although you get a small touch of it up front, but in the end its all roast. I always enjoy this beer, never lets me down.

Almost black beer with thin beige but durable head. Aroma is very smoky. Taste is not so smoky than you expected. Flavour is smoky and there is a little of sweetness. Medium-bodied and oily palate makes this pleasant to drink.

definitely one of my favorites. originally bought it just for the name, but ended up loving the whole experience of this beer.

Bottle. Pours almost black with ruby highlights and a one finger mostly lasting tan head that leaves some lacing. Aroma of chocolate, light roasted malt, and light caramel. Taste is the same as aroma. Medium full creamy mouthfeel with a mild amount of bitterness. Very good.
