Honey aroma, thin to zero head, and caramel malts. Palate and finish are honey, honey, chocolate coffee, and honey. If you don’t like honey, don’t touch this one, I say. Texture is creamy hopped honey, and your mouth will feel like you just ate a small piece of fresh honeycomb. Leaves the palate sweet and sticky. I love sweet, and I will definitely try this again.

Wow, I really can’t believe this beer is rated so low! Beautiful pour and auroma that can only be outdone by drinking it. Incredibally good beer.

Okay, this smelled like cooked veggies- maybe asparagus. Oil in appearance and excellent in taste (no veggies at all). Tingly, heavy, yet light enough in the finish to be very enjoyable. Best by this brewery by far. Very chocolaty.

Pours obsidian (very little light through this one) with smallish tan head. Aroma of big corn flakes, chocoff, blackstrap molasses. Tastes sweet, with a rauchy element coupled with blackberries, cola, chocoff, molasses, and milk stoutiness. This one is really sweet, but it doesn’t take away the overall presence. Medium in mouthfeel, this beer has the most pronounced chocolate syrup taste I have yet encountered. i don’t think the sweetness is a negative thing, rather it makes this one stand out. I’m having this one with semi-sweet chocolate, and it goes together great. I’d drink this any day of the week and twice on Sunday. Just delicious. This may be the most under-rated beer on this site. Start showing the love, people!

An enjoyable beer this was. All sticky, big bodied, messy, yet lovely to taste. I don’t know why it rates so low. It poured a blackest shade of ruby, iridescent and softly, finely carbonated. Head was a smooth half inch pad of tan that held there like that for the length and laced well. Aroma is thick and full like the Porter. This one was smoky, burnt and deep with some very complex malts showing. Molasses shined through as does some marmite yeasty notes, burnt sticks, ash and peat, powdered chocolate and beef jerky. Personally it was a lovely waft. Treacly thick and very smooth in the mouth. Big presence of molasses and marmite, firm chocolaty malts and volatiles of bonfires long past. On the swallow it has just a little bitterness and just a zing of overcooked fruit before it trails off long dragging the palate down to the depths. This was far beyond its ABV. It is liquid bread, one that has been charred beyond life, stirred with a pudding and served up as beer. I really liked it. Big in the mouth, sweet but balanced by that charred, smoky effect and smooth. Very nice drinking, but one was enough. Lovely. (50cL, 08/06/07)
