RABinVA (692) - Fredericksburg, Virginia, USA - MAR 3, 2013
Bottle. Pours a nice near black with slight, anemic tan head. Aroma is malt and wet dog. Taste is roasted sweetness with a huge malt backbone, stale wet dog taste, cardboard, very drinkable because you want it to be over.

inbirraveritas (1026) - Budapest, HUNGARY - MAR 1, 2013
On tap. Shows a clear dark brown with a creamy tan head on its top. Low-keyed, roasty-yeasty nose. Sharp and somewhat thin mouthfeeled brew with an aroma of caramel, burnt malt and dough. Short to medium long, dry finish escorted by burnt malt and grassy hops. Not great, but pleasant overall.

tnkw01 (581) - Knoxville, Tennessee, USA - FEB 26, 2013
Bottle. Dark, black, decent head. Dark toast, roasted grain flavor. Aroma is roasted grain, slight coffee and some skunk.

VT (796) - Quebec City, Quebec, CANADA - FEB 24, 2013
330 ml bottle. Pours dark with a nice beige head. Smell is slightly roasted. Flavor is caramel, dark malt, hints of fruit. Black licorice. Weak finish, a touch of roast. Light body. Okay, I guess.

Malty but otherwise bland and unassuming. Not unpleasant but lacks character. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

Bottle. Dark brown pour with tan head. Smells of yeast and fruit. Tastes of the same and also malty. Not bad. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

RexTalionis (1430) - FINLAND - FEB 20, 2013
Bottled. Pours dark brown in color with a foamy beige head. Dark syrup and dark sweet bread mostly in aroma, some yeasty notes as well. Sweet, slightly burnt bready malt in taste at first. Nuttyness and toasted bready aftertaste.

tomciccateri (885) - Albuquerque, New Mexico, USA - FEB 19, 2013
330 ml dark green bottle. Opaque dark brown with tan head. Malty sweet aroma. Medium body with nice full mouthfeel. Early sweet flavor balance dries toward finish. Chocolate flavor with sljght dark malt dryness. Okay.

Suttree (4453) - Knoxville, Tennessee, USA - FEB 11, 2013
It’s dark. It tastes dark. So very, very dark. Actually not much aroma. I get a little bit of coffee, I guess. Dry, vaguely wood finish. Pretty much a textbook tick...
