Apr 30, 2009 Pours black into an English pint. Off-white mocha micro head with excellent retention leaves a thin sheet. Dark cocoa aromas. Smooth and slightly thin with upfront soy and molasses. Turning to chocolate in the finish.

Apr 26, 2009 Sampled at 2009 Peoria Int’l Beer Festival. Pours dark brown, clear, with a spare light-brown head. Aroma is heavy with molasses, chocolate and roasted grains, and a light hint of alcohol. Roasted grain and cocoa flavor, a touch light for my tastes, and a little citric hops. Grainy, rye finish. Lively carbonated.

Apr 17, 2009 Deep black pour with red visible only while being poured. A small active short lived tan head. Aroma is full of sweet malt with dark fruit and chocolate. Flavor is chocolate and coffee with a nice little hop bite. It is acidic and lactic with some molasses and vanilla. There is an underlying tartness that is surprisingly big. This is a beer that feels substantial in the mouth and is sticky and thick.
