Jul 7, 2009 bomber from total wine in greenville. pours a dark, cherry-wood brown with a thin, beige head and solid lacing. aroma is nice but fairly tame with notes of toasted almond, toffee, and chocolate with hints of dark fruit and roasted malts. flavor is quite good with notes of peat, smoked wood, and roasted nuts up front with slightly tart, dark fruits, apple cider, and light cocoa on the back end. palate is medium bodied with solid carbonation and a lingering, mild roasty finish. overall, a solid brew.

Jul 4, 2009 Chocolate aroma with some almonds and toffee, but a very light aroma. Appearance is cola like with mocha head. Chocolate is the mainstay of the flavor, with some toffee and almonds. Palate is creamy and almost rum-like. Decent, but nothing spectacular here. Probably better on tap.

Jul 3, 2009 Bottle. Pours like cola with a similar thickness and consistency of foam. Aroma is dark roasted nuts and malt. Flavor is of dark oak, malt and barley with a touch of cocoa/chocolate. Decent consistency and mouthfeel, with only a slightly over-the-top bitter finish. Pretty good. Surprisingly low ABV. Hops almost imperceptible.

Jul 2, 2009 From a tasting at Ridgeview. Poured a light brown color with a thin light tan head. Aroma is of light cocoa and roasted malt. Taste is of light cocoa, light hops and toasted malt. Surprised it’s a traditional ale as it tasted a lot like a schwarzbier. Either way, it’s a decent beer.
