5 AROMA 10/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 10/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 20/20
The first "best beer" I’ve had. Like drinking delicious motor oil. Thick, creamy, with a dark brown head and opaque black coloration. Chocolate, licorice, with a persistent sweetness. Originally bought this at Wine 101 in Warrensburg, (10/10/2007) later found a bottle aged from 2000 in Lawrence.

330 ml bottle. Pours deep black, the big chocolate coloured head makes it seem as though the beer is brown. Aroma and taste are primarily bitter roasted malt. Very smooth and no alcohol taste at all. Very drinkable!

4.1 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 17/20
Pours a very dark brown, almost black color. Thick dark brown head present. Aroma is of sweeter malts, caramel, toffee, chocolate, and some lactic. Flavor is also of sweeter chocolate malts, a little lactic, slight coffee, and toffee. Nice lacing with this one. Leaves a nice roasty finish. Perfect beer for a cold and crappy night like tonight.
