May 26, 2008 Black with a cocoa brown head. Aroma is pretty average, chocolate and raisins. Perhaps espresso. Very full, roasty flavor. Espresso, (a bit on the sour, burnt side) dried prunes, and bitter baking chocolate. Medium bodied, but silky smooth. Not bad at all.

May 23, 2008 Bottle from Total Wine in Roseville, CA. Pours a used motor oil black with small tan head that quicklly fades away. Smells and tastes of chocolate and coffee. Very slight bitter finish. A great beer that I will buy again.

May 20, 2008 Not bad at all. Very much like a guiness extra stout. Would drink again but not one of my favorites.

May 16, 2008 12 oz. bottle. Pours black with a moderate, dense chocolate brown head that quickly disappeared and left a very thin film on the glass with each sip. Pleasant aroma of chocolate and roasted malt. The flavor is very similar to the aroma, but the aftertaste has a wet cardboard flavor that I am not fond of. Light to moderate bitterness at the finish. Probably not something I’d go back to.

May 6, 2008 Bottle. Pour is like cola... fizzy and dark. Head sits around three or four fingers at first and hisses at me while I type. Aromas are thick of roasty malt, dark chocolate and charcoal/peat. First sip reveals a fairly nice blend of coffee and chocolate malts with a bit of a smokey aftertaste... all the while, it is a bit thin on the palate, especially at first. It could be that there is not the push from a higher ABV to warm things along or the malt presence is a little thin, but it seems just a tick away from perfection. Very nice, in spite of it all.
