May 3, 2009 Pours an "oily" black with small lacing that recedes quickly. Aroma is leathery, slightly scotchy, a little sweet, with a hint of dark fruit. Flavor is pretty complex, very roasted all the way around. Flavor is tarry, leathery, smoky, with a little bit of raisin/prune. I like the flavor a lot. Palate is again oily, with very little carbonation. Overall, very good.

Apr 28, 2009 12oz bottle. Pours black with thick lingering light brown head. Subtle aroma of dark roasted malts, maybe some dark cherry in there. First taste is a large hit of both light and dark chocolates. A bitterness slowly gains through the finish, but not too biting, enough to linger in the palate for a couple minutes. Full bodied. The malt profile is fairly one dimensional but good.

Apr 18, 2009 Pours black with a little tannish brown head. Very thick with a smoky, roasted chocolate flavor. Can feel and taste that 6% abv. A little pricey, but very good. Thumbs up.

Apr 15, 2009 Cerveja de personalidade. Coloração preta, espuma cremosa marrom, densa, de média formação e duração, deixando uma fina camada perene, de bolhas pequeniníssimas. Notas de chocolate amargo (bem amargo), malte torrado e café. No aroma, sinto também baunilha. Consistência sedosa. Final longo, de amargor acentuado. Ótimo conjunto. Experimente!
