Pours black with tan head and good lace. Aroma is chocolate, licorice, slight alcohol, taste follows suit with aroma well with a burnt maltiness, warming sticky finish

Molasses, raisin, coffee, and a little grassy bitterness in the aroma. Strong flavor with caramel, nuts, chocolate, and a little smoke and wood. Coffee/chocolate bitterness in the finish. Really good.

Bomber poured a clear dark reddish brown with a small lasting tan head. Aromas of plum, raisin, roasted mnalt and light molasses. Palate was medium bodied and smooth. Flavors of roasted malt, cocoa and light dried fruit with a smooth lingering cocoa finish.

My wife brought this one back from a trip to Rochester. +++ Sampled from a 22 oz brown bottle this beer poured a black color with a medium sized foamy brown head that lingered and left great lacing. The aroma was sweetish, malty and toasty with notes of cherry and berry underneath. The flavor was cherry and port wine followed by toasty malts and a bit of wood. Long almost roasty finish of cherry, port wine and wood. Moderately full bodied. Solid.

This poured a medium to darker brown color with a lighter tan head. Aroma was of chocolate, light roast, and some green hops. Flavor was velvety smooth, but a bit watery chiocolate, not much roasted bitterness, and some green hops.

Pours think but black with no head. Aromas of milk chocolate, cream, some roasted coffee. Taste is similar - smooth chocolate milkshake with some hops and roast. Thin mouthfeel is the only thing that detracts from this one. Good.

Poured from 22 oz. bottle aged for 10 months. Opaque, near black brown with 4-finger rich brown head and absolutely stunning lacing. Aroma of sweet chocolate, roast dark malt, coffee and some sweet dark fruit. Taste of sweet milk chocolate, dark fruit, cherry and dark roast coffee. A very nice balance of flavors. Medium body and light/medium carbonation. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

22 ounce bottle shared by Gillard, poured dark brown aromas of chocolate, dark fruit, light ash, and some earth. Flavors are the same, but extremly oxidized. Its a shame, was hoping that this would be a good one. Will have to find a fresher bottle.
