Had a dark brown color. Aroma and flavor were dominated by burnt malt with a mild smokey undertone.

Aug 21, 2008 Bottle. Dark brown, ruby around the edges, and a beige head. Nice chocolate aroma with roasted / toasted caramel malts. Flavor is the same, somewhat like a vienna, but sweeter and fuller, slightly smoked, with sweet chocolate in the finish. Wet / sticky mouthfeel, but I like it.

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 15, 2008 Pours a very dark brown, hint of red, thin tannish foam. Very roasted aroma, smells yummy. Chocolate, coffee flavors, a bit nutty, nice. Me like.

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.
