Aug 29, 2008 Bottle: Dark, near opaque pour with a creamy tan head. Aroma is similar to a British Porter- lots of roast, licorice, raisins, and mild oxidized notes. The body is creamy and silky feeling. Has a very malty flavor. Dark roast, subtle, earthy leather-like notes, dark fruits (raisins), dark bitter chocolate, and a subtle purple grape. The finish offers some residual roast and mocha-like qualities. A fairly solid offering.

Aug 28, 2008 Bottle. Aroma of cherry, prune, roasted malt, coffee, chocolate, raisin, grape, sweet alcohol, all very rich. Flavor of bitter chocolate, cherry, caramel, nougat, coffee, sweet but never overbearing. A bit on the thin side in the mouth, but hardly a concern to such a delectable, complex brew.

Aug 25, 2008 Bottle. Pours black with a pretty light tan head that lasts. Aroma of alcohol, chocolate, sweet malt, caramel, molasses, and vanilla. Flavor of burnt caramel and sweet malt, some roasted malt and vanilla. Quite sweet, but with the nice roasted/burnt notes in the background. Smooth palate that gets a little heavy as you drink. A nice sipper.
