2008-05-17. Black body with a nice tan head that slowly fades. (3+) Aroma is fairly modest, a good amount of roast is dominant but not bombastic, muted sweet malt and light fruit touches. (7+) Sweet smooth malt base, mild roast hints, very mild fruit blends with sugar notes. Smooth medium palate. (3+) Quite nice. At Rudolf’s, shared by Blankboy

Jul 2, 2008 Poured black with a large tan head. Nice roasty malt aroma with milk choclate notes. The flavor was also roasty with some milk choclate. There was a light tartness to the flavor though. Medium bodied.

Jun 25, 2008 Bottle… Thinkin’ ‘Bout Thirteen Hours O’ Drinkin’ (tew man wrecking crew)… This beer rocks!… Tar black brew with a small, creamy, khaki-colored head. Great retention. Amazing, complex fragrances of dried plum, burnt caramel, tobacco smoke, molasses and cocoa. Full-bodied with a creamy mouthfeel and modest carbonation. Burnt malt and singed caramel provide the foundation for lesser flavors of leather, smoke and chocolate. Reminiscent of De Molen’s Tsarina and Mikkeller’s X 2006. So much going on here. Cheers to glouglouburp for providing this treat!

Jun 23, 2008 Dark brown-near black in colour, lingering thin tan coloured head, light lacing. The aroma is rich, burnt, some coffee, lots of chocolate, good sweetness, light smoke. The flavour is of chocolate ice cream, quite sweet, burnt dark malts, molasses, cocoa. Sweet mouthfeel, full body, medium/high carbonation. Finishes quite long, burnt, sweet with lots of chocolate.
Very rich and sweet, quite good. An excellent beer form this brewery, lived up to my expectations.

Jun 20, 2008 Pours a mostly opaque black with dark mahogany edges and a thin lacing, wispy dark tan head. Aroma of sweet dark caramel with some dark chocolate and lightly smoked character. Body starts fairly full and dark caramely sweet with some complex smooth smoky chocolate notes before a slightly drier finish. Nicely balanced and very drinkable.

Jun 20, 2008 Pours a beautiful deep brown almost black – with a slight head, and average lacing and slightly under carbonated. Smells of very strong coffee with chocolate and a hint of liquorish. First taste is surprisingly bitter with coffee dominating and chocolate follows. Nice smoke finish.
