Jun 28, 2008 Bottle. Syrupy chocolate nose with prominent winey notes. Dark brown-ruby pour with a cream tan head. Watery body, lightly bitter and very sweet, with strong nuttiness and toasted malts. A little bit of stale air, otherwise the taste is solid, dark, and earthy. Sold sweet chocolate. Rather enjoyed it - underrated here, methinks.

Apr 14, 2008 Bottle. LIve one. Zoomed out of the bottle. Almost vinous aroma, definitely chocolate. Very dark brown color with a two or three finger fluffy head. Flavor starts very chocolate. Moves on to a bit of malt. Whole wheat bready sort of drink. Finish is pretty well balanced. Not getting particular hop, but it is not really sweet. Sort of a nutty light porter kind of thing. Really good, whatever it is.

Mar 25, 2008 Bottle with a date on the label of 04/19/08.Small fizzy tan head that mostly diminished, patchy lacing, transparent, carbonation observed, and a reddish brown hue. Nose was brown malt, chocolate, sweet, nutty, some caramel, and a hint of hops. Flavor was sweet, brown malt, chocolate, lightly roasty, and finishes semi-dry. Mouthfeel was tingly and semi-dry. Light-medium body. Very quaffable and easy to drink, uncomplicated, a solid beer where nothing really stands out about it IMO. If you don’t enjoy drinking complex beers, this would be a decent one to have IMO.
