Pours the color of motor oil and has a very thick, long-lasting tan head. Nice aroma of chocolate malt. Strong roasted malt flavor with chocolate and coffee hints. Just a bit of bitterness and a bit of a bite on the back of the tongue. A very nice beer.

Oct 15, 2008 Deep black, maybe a tin of red. nice lingering head. smells malty. For me, a very Dry flavor with little sweatness. Its basically an easy drinking ’porter’, unassuming. I like this beer, feels like a good solid friend.

Oct 8, 2008 12 oz bottle. Pours a dark reddish/black with a decent off-white head. Some lacing. Aroma is fruity, dark cherries, espresso and chocolate. Flavor is earthy and full of raisins and dark chocolate. Palate is light-medium bodied, fizzy on the front, with a dryish finish. Becomes progressivly smoother as the beer warms. Overall this is a HIGHLY drinkable, tasty ale. One of the better low(er)-ABV beers available.

Oct 2, 2008 Bottle thanks to a friend bringing them back to me from Colorado. Pours a black color with a small head. Flavor is caramel, very woody, and malty. Not very hoppy, and not a lot of hop bitterness. Overall this beer is very drinkable and quite tasty!
