Dynamind69 (29), San Miguel, California, USA Apr 30, 2007 This is the perfect dark ale,I have finally found a great ale,with mild hops.It is not too bitter,the sweet malts are perfect.This is the best dark ale I have ever had and I will make my primary daily drinker.I liked everything about it. Perfect! I like this brew better than fat tire.Its the best tasting beer in the world ,I love it. Fattimus (3), Sedalia, Missouri, USA does not count Feb 26, 2007 Dark reddish brown; near black, body with very light aroma of chocolate and coffee. Initial zesty acidic flavor with surprisingly clean, refreshing finish. My all-time personal favorite. targhee (24), Boulder, Colorado, USA Aug 6, 2006 New Belgium is onto something with the 1554. A dark beer that you can drink even when it is 100 F. Wonderful mouth feel, a hint of chocolate sweetness, fantastic! lowry99 (14), USA Mar 5, 2008 My favorite black ale. Weyerbacher’s Black Hole aspires to this but misses the light touch and winds up too cough-syrupy. 1554 can be guzzled or sipped non-stop, in a word: drinkable. Also, has a bit of alcohol sting on top so you don’t notice the low content. stison42 (317), Blacksburg, Virginia, USA May 29, 2006 Updated: Jan 22, 2007Black. Heavy but smooth with a good hearty aftertaste. Full flavored and wonderfull. Tastes amazingly the same from the bottle or tap.
