tculhane (2), Cranston, Rhode Island, USA does not count Dec 23, 2005 A crisp meduium bodied ale, with a sweet initial flavor that relaxes into a calm but flavorful ale. oldrtybastrd (1801), Morlautern, Germany/Great Falls, Montana, USA Dec 14, 2005 Pours a deep dark ruby/black. Aromas of dark berries/wood and a hint of chocolate. Flavor of semi-sweet malts and mellow berry taste. I was really surprised by the overall flavor of this beer, excellent. tjwais (42), Ann Arbor, Michigan, USA Dec 13, 2005 I went into this beer with the attitude that I was going to like it... I loved it. Had a tiny tan head, was nearly opaque, and flowed much smoother than expected. Very slightly smokey with many berries and sweet flavors. Sure this wasn’t a wine? tlitt2 (58), Lexington, Kentucky, USA Dec 5, 2005 Updated: Dec 22, 2005I poured this rather abruptly, so head was shortlived and rocky. But it had a nice kind of shading in the head with a reddish brown on the bottom fading into a lighter tan on top. Body is a dark plum/ black. Nose of roasted coffee and chocolate. Flavor is sweet upfront and mildly dry in the finish. A very lovely chocolate flavor, with coffee, and maybe some dark fruit (grapes), nothing overpowering and very drinkable. Awesome. JayBaxter (386), Greater Manchester, Greater Manchester, England Dec 5, 2005 Pours deep red/black with a roasty malty berryish aroma. Slightly licouricey and stout like flavour with a dry finish. fluids (364), USA Dec 3, 2005 Medium brown foam with blackberry coloring. Pungent berry nose. Roasty fruity flavor with a slightly bitter finish. I like this offering 2nd to Kelpie from these guys. Bockyhorsey (2487), Mesa, Arizona, USA Dec 1, 2005 Aroma was more like a brandy with fermantaion and somewhat fruity. Black bpdy not much of a tan head. Flavor had a pale fruity and mild sweetness to it. Smooth on the palate. Left a berry aftertaste. rederic (1787), montréal, Quebec, Canada Nov 25, 2005 Deep black color, with a tan-colored head, with a fruity note of elderberry, roasted malt, and a chocolatey aroma follows through on a medium- bodied palate with a nice bitter-chocolatey charecter, with hint of fruitiness, roasted malt, coffee accent, licorice note, roasted coffee grains, leading towards a dry roastiness finish
