I read one comment that spoke of it being a great cigar beer and i totally agree with tthat. This is what I wrote on my own spreed sheet: Chocolate-like finish with a full fun body.

Pours out black with a tiny beige head. Aroma of dark fruit, roasted malt and slight chocolate. Very smooth mouthfeel. Flavors of roasted malt, chocolate dark fruit, some licorice and slight earthy tobacco taste that you get from a maduro cigar. Would make a great cigar beer. Very Solid

Dec 2005 - Beer poured dark brown color with almost no head and lacing. Flavor was sweet alcohol dominating the roasty choco malts. Too sweet for me with a bitter, almost astringent finish (not good hoppy bitter either...more like an aftertaste that wasn’t quite right). Mouthfeel was a tad thin. I feel no need to go back to this one.

Bottled. Dark brown colour, almost opaque. With a medium tan head and slight lacing. Aroma was faint chocolate and a little alcohol. Flavour was very mild with a bittersweet chocolate finish. Easy drinking stout.

330 ml bottle. Pours opaque dark mahogany with an easy, sturdy tan head which dissipates but is easy to recall with a swirl or two. Nice splotchy lacing. Aroma of cocoa and fresh cigar tobacco. Flavor is forward with tobacco and bitter chocolate with some sour notes - not nearly as sweet as expected - and with a dry, roasty, warm finish. Moderate fine carbonation supports a smooth, chalky, medium mouthfeel. Pretty nice and unique beer.
