Jul 30, 2004 Brownish black with ruby edges, average light tan head. Soft aromas of molasses, fudge, grass, and vanilla. Even for a mild, it's virtually flavorless- mineral water spiked with stale instant coffee. Also tastes like it came out a can, kind of tinny and cidery. Mild aftertaste of coffee grounds and copper. Completely bland and forgetable.

Jul 17, 2004 Bottle: Pour is black and oily with virtually no head. The aroma is malt and a hint of chocolate. The taste is a delicious and refreshing bitter malt. Outstanding flavor with no offensive aftertaste. Just great.

Jun 27, 2004 A nice darker beer that left an interesting smoked taste in my mouth. Kind of a blend of coffee and smoked foods. I must admit I missed the chocolate in it.

Jun 24, 2004 This brew pour a dark black with a nice creamy white head. Aroma is that of choclate and coffe and the flavor is of that as well. This is a nice refreshing brew, but the aftertaste is not that desirable.

Jun 7, 2004 pours mohagany with an off white head. aromas of fresh black or roasted malt. burnd and coffee aromas with some cherry thrown in. roast malt flavors are much more subdued in the flavor with some chocolate, coffee, and a slight fruit sweetness. cleaner than a porter of stout and very dry. not bad, I would like to try with some oysters.

Jun 3, 2004 Pours a black color with a small off-white head. Roasty aroma of chocolate and malt. Taste was roasty and chocolate and coffee. Slightly thin tasting with a slightly bitter end.

May 28, 2004 A bit of a different label as the kitty is now shown in a snobbish-siloette that reminds me of my own black cat.
Pours a black, or at least a really dark brown with a decent head that left some lacing.
Aroma is mostly of heavily roasted malt, but even that is not very strong.
Flavor is, well, watery for the most part. There’s a light roasted flavor, coffee, caramel, with some very faint fruit esters.
Palate is thin yet carbonated, but it has a very nice mineral mouthfeel. Overall it’s okay. Not overly exciting yet interesting, and with the (extremely) low alcohol content, this would be a good beer to drink whilst doing other things. Give it a try.

May 20, 2004 Bottle. A dark brown color with a creamy light brown head.
Thin in body, but it has a smoked malt flavor on a blackened toast base. It may be faint praise, but this one had more flavor than I expected.
