Jul 31, 2009 The name certainly isn’t appealing, but I decided to get it on a whim at an "all-Michigan" microbrews month at my local favorite drinking place. You taste a chocolate almost immediately and it goes down as such yet despite that, you still get a good all around taste. It tasted great with my burger and the wings we ordered after 3 mugs. It’s my favorite from the Mt. Pleasant brewing people, and I highly recommend it.

Apr 9, 2009 12 oz bottle...pours a cloudy brown with a ton of sediment left behind on the bottom of the bottle. Aroma is very subdued dark malts. flavor up front is dark chocolate, cocoa powder, and nuts. There is a slight roast flavor as well as a hint of bittering hops. also some alcohol noticeable in this particular bottle, which wasn’t noticeable when i had this on tap. Palate is a bit watery.

Oct 6, 2008 6oz sample at MTS - Aroma is mild nutty malts with a little brown sugar adn chocolate. Pours transparent dark brown with no head and decent lacing. Flavor is very malty. Brown sugar, toffee, hazelnut and chocolate. Palate is creamy. Ok, but nothing special.

May 26, 2008 On tap at Crunchy’s, East Lansing. A bitter, watery brown ale, toasty but watered down in all aspects. Mediocre.

Feb 23, 2005 Great start into the daker side of beer styles. It could of used a bit more hop to cut the malt a bit but overall a great beer that many brewpubs fail to make.

Mar 26, 2003 The best MTS brew I tried at this session - a similar flavor to the red, but darker, deeper, and richer, with more sudued sours and some chocolate tones.
