Courtesy boboski. Black with dark brown edges and a small, frothy light brown head. Aroma of roasted chocolate and coffee ice cream, some dry grains, also. Same flavor, rich and tasty, not very complex, but very good. Medium/full body, smoother than balanced.

Bottle. Pours black with a huge light brown rocky and frothy light brown head. The lacing is very good leaving a nice lace down the whole glass, with a head that is mostly lasting. The aroma is of coffee and it is grainy, there is also hints of burbon too. The initial taste is very sweet without much bitterness. The malts shine through, they are nutty, coffee and chocolate. I can also taste brown sugar and it is also a little spicy. There is a alcohol taste to this. There isnt much hop flavor in this one. The bitterness and malt flavor lastes for a little while. The body is medium to full, with a creamy texture, and soft carbonation. In the finish there is also a alcohol burn that is quite heavy.

Caramel and chocolate aroma. Dark Mahogany in color with a short lived milk chocolate brown head. Taste was chocolate and smoke. Chocolate and almond in the finish. Not too sweet, but very delicious.

A dark black pour to this one, small head, Alcohol is unoticable, and it drinks so easy! lots of chocolate, and roasted malts, some sweetness on the aftertaste. Very enjoyable. Glad to finally find this one in the Inland Empire!

From Immy via trade. Thanks again! The pour was a fairly standard dark brown with a tan, one-finger head. Dissipated quickly. Some lacing. The aroma was dry chocolate, some smoke and a bit of floral hops sneaking in there. Caught a whiff or two of alcohol as well. The flavor was chocolate, roasted malt, sugar and alcohol. The hops allowed for a nice succinct finish. Medium bodied and kind of slick. A nice effort.
