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.

May 31, 2009 22 ounce bottle from Greenlife Grocery in Asheville, NC. Pours a very dark ruby color with a medium head. Decent head retention and excellent lacing. Aroma is nutty and grainy with lots of caramel and roast notes. Taste is light roast, caramel, nuts and lots of fruit notes, particularly peach, mango and strawberry. Very interesting and a bit different. I like this one a lot.

May 31, 2009 22 oz bottle. Pours a reddish black color with a medium off white-tan head which vanished quickly. Creamy mouth feel tastes of chocolate and coffee with minimal hop bitterness. This is a excellent easy going down beer.

May 28, 2009 This is an interesting beer and seems like a very light porter. Deep chestnut hue with a sandy foam. Aroma of coffee and caramel with a flavor to match, very sweet. Chocolaty. Not bad at all

May 28, 2009 Aroma - Chocolate, sweet toffee malts
Appearance - Smallish head, black with red tint
Flavor - roasted malts, some chocolate, tiny bit of bitter hops
Palate - medium body, average carbonation, medium finish
Overall - This beer isn’t bad, it is a little thin on flavors, and the strength of the flavors it has is not very lasting. It’s drinkable but not too memorable.
