From a 12 fl. oz. bottle. Pours an opaque dark mahogany-brown with a bit of beige head. Aroma of yeast, malts, and caramel. Decent mouth feel. Flavor is both sweet and bitter dark chocolate with a good mix of malts and yeast. Very flavorful actually and always one of my favorites.

Aroma is sugary with notes of dark fruit and alcohol. Pours a dark brown with a nice thick head, which lasts for about 2/3 of the length of time it takes to drink the beer. Tastes sweet, malty, and a little boozy with hints of bread, figs, chocolate, and a bit of coffee--the alcohol is not overwhelming. Hands down one of my favorites, if not my single favorite.

UPDATED: OCT 20, 2009 Very, very good beer considering the availability. Very tasty, no need to describe what others have already described. Looks great, smells good, tastes great, simple but that’s not a complaint. I
