4.1 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 17/20Poured dark as oil with a 1/2 finger of a brown sugar head. Aroma was sweet up front with dark fruits followed by some dark chocolate and finishing with alcohol. The taste was sweet up front transitioning into dark chocolate and some silky bitterness on the end of the tongue. Nice soft carbonation with a heavy mouthfeel. Die down the alcohol on the finish and this is top notch.

Bottle. Pours motor oil black with no head whatsoever. Nose is extremely weak. Eventually picked up some dark fruits followed by roasted barley. Taste is similar but roasted malt is up front backed up by the fruit. Light char note evident on the finish. Palate is full with a decent carb. Overall this is a huge disappointment. I was eagerly anticipating this one. I'm not tasting any off flavors but I can't help but wonder if this is off or infected somehow. Will definitely try again at some point just in case.

Nice cacao nose with some coffee. Beautiful beer. Inky dark with chocolate head. Taste was complex yet balanced. Really good stuff

Oh yeah. Pours oily black with a thick, fluffy, dark brown, fudgy head. Aroma of coffee, gun powder, licorice, chocolate and slight ripe fruits. Banana too i think. The taste is a little more burned than expected, and contains lots of coffee. Dark dark chocolate, but also these hidden fruit and sweet licorice notes. Lots of stuff going on, but well balanced!

22 oz bottle from Supermarket Liquors. Black with a small brown head that disappears to nothing. Roasted malty aroma with dark chocolate and light coffee. Similar flavor, fairly sweet with mild dark fruits and light bitter hops. Full bodied, creamy and smooth. Very nice.

Poured a dark brown with a small tan head. Aroma of heavy roasted malt, dark chocolate and bitter coffee. Full, smooth body, flavour of the aroma with a bit of liquorice and a dry, bitter end.

Pours a real dark rich black color with a small java head. Nose is malt, black licorice, and some alcohol. Taste is sweet chocolate, malt and some dark cherry. Dense and thick ! Finish is sweet and lingers with the above mentioned flavors. Quaff Score 8 / 10

Great first taste but then wanders into complex malty, bananaistic, aftertaste that we found to be not the great. Good beer, but not as good as the price would demand.
