Jun 11, 2009 Pours a clear dark reddish brown with a creamy tan head. Head settles quickly. Feel is light and creamy without being watery. Nose is mild, dominated primarily by roasted nuts. Slight sour sweet smells as well. Taste of lightly roasted coffee, and some cocoa. Chalky taste on the finish.

Jun 8, 2009 A bit out of season for the summertime, but I made do. Sweet, malty goodness. Drinks well with food (what beer doesn’t, right?). I like a beer with a good story behind it, but even more, I like a dark beer that tastes good. I’ll have another, please.

Jun 8, 2009 Bottle from Corby, thanks! Malty roasty aroma. Malty sweetish, roasty flavor with pear and dark chocolate. Pleasant session beer without any sharp edges. Maybe a bit thin.

Jun 5, 2009 On tap at Coasters. Brown pour with a thin white head. Light, sweet candi sugar aroma. Slightly sweet flavor. A very decent beer and better than the mass-distributed beers I have tasted recently from New Belgium.

Jun 5, 2009 This is a great beer for when you want to try something a little different. Great winter beer.

Jun 5, 2009 Had this beer on tap at Eb and Flows on Bald Head Island. Not much head but some nice lacing. Licorice and roasted malts, nutty. Finishes quite noice.

Jun 4, 2009 Best by 19Sept09, here on 04June09. Bomber. Chocolate and light roast in the nose, absent mocha, however, with some light grass and pale malts coming in under the intense nuts. Sweetish with a touch of caramel and a slighter hint of smoke. Near-pitch ruby with a creamy, superbly rocky and lasting tan head. Watery body is very creamy, very sweet with medium carbonation. A little stale nuttiness, hints of berry and perhaps star anise, mostly malty under the earthy chocolate. Touch of acidity. Light caramel, some crushed almondy shells and faint cherries, and man, the nuts are all over this thing. Little minty/herbal swipe. Too sweet for regular consumption, but there’s a nice sort of class here, in a singular way.
