bottled. pitch black with small brown head. tastes very burned. best when ice cold. when warm, metallic.

Aroma is strong and smoky with a salty undertone, like fine coffee mixed with miso. It pours black as motor oil with a thick dark ecru head that is fine-bubbled but doesn’t stick around. Flavor is like smoky coffee with nutty and unsweetened chocolate hints, and just a touch of sweetness and a bit of hop bitterness. Texture is smooth and tingly, and just a bit on the watery side. Not too shabby.

bottle. smells of chocolate and roast. taste is roast, coffee, chocolate leaving a slight chalky finish. warmness from alcohol. great beer.

Bottle. Black. Small beige head. Smells choclate. Tastes chocolate and port with small tartness in the aftertaste. I think this beer has a little too much carbonation.

Bottle, #431. Black pour with medium head. Roasty malt aroma and flavor with ah bit of chocolate and high alcohol flavor. Good brew overall.

Caramelly notes with very light chocolate and abv on the nose. A deed dark brown pour with huge frothy head and lace.More caramel on the flavor with a very nice smooth bitter finish. Light hints of abv and hint of chocolate but that is all a very interesting beer to say the least.

12oz bottle at the Crosswoods Winking Lizard. Pours pitch black with a huge tan head. Super malty aroma, but there is some roast character there. Malty sweet flavor with a nice roasty coffee finish. Expensive, but worth it.

Black, firm tanned head. Nicely smooth aroma has little coffee, dried fruits, smoke, cocoa, molasses and loads of leather. Similar flavor with quite tangy hoppiness in the finish, not all that pleasant. Medium to full bodied, round filling mouthfeel. I remember this one being better on tap. A good nightcap, though far from the top.
