This one poured with a long lasting tan plillowiy head, where the liquid had a dark ruby color. The aroma was of slight licorice and chocolate. The taste blended the two with a slight coffee and caramel taste in the middle and a clean finish at the end. This was well made.

Aug 19, 2008 Pours dark ruby-brown with a thin head that leaves moderate lacing. Smell is dominated by roasty malts and coffee. Flavor is smoky with a baker’s chocolate finish. Dry finish that ends rather abruptly. Medium body with low carbonation. Good for a change of pace, but it would be tough to get through more than one in a sitting.

Aug 16, 2008 Distinctive toasty flavor and smell. Great malts. A little one sided. The flavor doesn’t hold up over time. I wouldn’t want to drink more than one in a single setting. This is a great beer to ad to a mix for a night of tasting.

Aug 9, 2008 Pours very deep brown-black with a mid-sized, creamy tan head. Smoky, sweetish roasted aroma. Lots of roasty flavors, with a strong chocolate presence, fruit, and spice. Hop presence is very mild. Very smooth mouthfeel, medium bodied. Tasty and easy to drink.

Aug 8, 2008 tap: black/dark brown color. Charcoal and smoked aroma. Taste is of caramel and smoked malt with light carbonation and a slight vinous/sweet taste. I have always enjoyed drinking this beer, especially in winter.
