Nov 5, 2003 Pours a dark black/brown color with average sized head and good lacing. The aroma is largely roasted with a strong coffee presence. The chocolate notes are there, but hard to detect. The flavor screams forward a perfectly balanced smokyness. Finishes a little watery and metallic, but overall this was a well built mild ale, a unique experience for me.

Nov 4, 2003 Pours dark brown with ruby edges, a small head that vanishes quickly, and quite a bit of carbonation. Aroma is light coffee, just like a mocha frappacino, and some hints of chocolate. Smoky flavors of roast malt, very mild fruit, maybe grape/raisin. Fuzzy mouthfeel, finishes a bit watery. Not bad at all.

Nov 3, 2003 Huge head and black body make this a terrribly nice looking beer. Light licorice and coffee flavors with a creamy palate. Incredible lace. Having recently had an 11% Belgian strong ale which had very little flavor this 3.4 percenter is mind boggling. I would preffer this to many full strength stouts. Superb.

Oct 31, 2003 dark brown with a red tint, no head on mine. aroma is slight roasted with a smoky flavor. hops are barely perceptible in the flavor. it's almost as if the chocolates in this are smoked. not at all bad

Oct 21, 2003 Dark, dark brown with a moderate tan head. sorhgum and corn meal aroma, hints of sulfur. Very much like licking a match after it has been extinguished. Tar malt, and burnt grains. Somewhat like some american darks in that they use the grains to create the darkness. this has a bit more depth, just a bit. I still think I'm sucking on blowout candle, yet I think I could sit in the pub and imbibe on this all day.

Oct 18, 2003 Very dry, and somewhat bland beer. Definetly "mild", but the malts are pleasant and roasty. There's really not a whole lot to talk about with this beer. It looked like a nice stout.

Oct 17, 2003 Nearly stout-like blackness, with an impressive lacing - peaty aroma - dry, crisp and refreshing - mild chocolate/coffee flavors, and a flavor I can only describe as "creamy smoke," of course that doesn't sound tasty, but really, it is - not a fan of mild ales, but this is pretty decent.

Sep 8, 2003 loved it. This is a real good beer. Had good coffee and caramel flavors. I'll buy it again.
