Bottle shared with DuffmanSW. Pours dark brown with a hint of red and a fast dissipating beige head. Aroma is roasty with coffee and some metallic stuff that I seem to pick up pretty often in beers like this. Flavor is roasty with some burnt toast, smoke, and cold black coffee. Palate is on the thin side with a nice medium carbonation. Not bad.

On tap at International Beer Garten (Lutz, FL). Pours a reddish brown hue with a foamy tan head. Aroma of malted barley, caramel, and a hint of hops. Very nice, smooth flavor. I liked the balance between the sweet, roasted malts and the slightly hoppy finish.
3.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
Deep brown coloured body with a thinnish off-white head. Aroma of roasted malt, toffee, figs and a bit of spice - pretty nice! Medium-bodied; Strong roasty flavours with some caramel, toffee and a bit of hops showing in. Aftertaste has a bit of sugar, some nuts and a ton of caramalised malt. Overall, a good nice beer - without a strong aftertaste or showing much bitterness at all! Definitely worth trying if you can find it! I sampled this 500 mL bottle purchased at a small convienience store in Praha, Czech Republic today, on 13-March-2008.
