KawaBomber (111), New Jersey, USA May 15, 2008 12oz Bottle: Dark brown, almost black, w/ a large creamy brown head. Roasty malt aroma w/ a hint of smoke & alcohol. Flavor starts w/ a little sweetness fading into roasted malt w/ some coffee & a bit of cocoa. Slightly bitter & dry finish. Alcohol is hidden well, but the palate comes up short, too thin. Smooth & quite good though. EnSiFeRuM (140), Quebec, Canada May 13, 2008 Bouteille de 330 ml. La bière se présente avec une robe noire opaque et un énorme col de mousse brun. Au nez on découvre des arômes de caramel, de vanille, de café et de chocolat noir. En bouche la bière est ronde et crémeuse. Elle nous dévoiles des flaveurs de café, d’alcool, de vanille, de caramel au beurre et de chocolat noir. Excellent jrob_21 (754), Atlanta, Georgia, USA May 13, 2008 Confirmed, the head is huge, brown, and adds creamy texture to the start of this beer. It fades after a bit. Aromas are sweet and fruity. Flavor is of red fruit like cherry, strawberry, and of slight roasted malt. Finish is sweet and malty. Decent well rounded stout. Bottle from The Glenwood. dutch23mp (54), Mount Prospect, Illinois, USA May 8, 2008 Bottle had this a year ago from BOM but did not rate it.
