Apr 24, 2009 The beer poured dark brown with a 3-fingered tan head. The aroma was spicey and malty with some booziness. The flavor was smokey, chocolatey with some ashtray qualities, nothing impressive. The palate was fairly thin. Overall, I can’t get past the burnt ashtray flavor, there is something off about it. I was fairly unimpressed by this beer.

Apr 20, 2009 Bottle. Aroma had moderate toasted, coffee and molasses for the malts, light herbs and earth for the hops and yeast, with a hint of rootbeer. Head is frothy, off-white, with no lacing and is mostly diminishing. Color is dark red/brown. Flavor is moderately sweet and acidic, and sour to start, and finishes lightly sweet and acidic. Palate is light to medium, watery yet a touch creamy, has a lively carbonation and finishes a little alcoholic. A pretty good Traditional Ale with some deep flavors.

Apr 19, 2009 Clear chestnut pour, wih a creamy 3-finger head that retains well and leaves nice lace down the glass. Yeast and earthen grains to the nose. The flavors, with hints of chocolate, coffee, grains, vegetal skins and roasts, all interplay well around a solid malt backbone. The finish is soft, as the mouthfeel and carbo levels. Nice offering here... well-integrated, decently complex, with a round embodiment and easy quaff.

Apr 16, 2009 Really dark pour, but light can still pass through. Has a medium sized, creamy, light-brown head. Smelled a lot like coffee and a little sweet caramel. Tastes very full and is somewhat similar to coffee. Pretty good.

Apr 13, 2009 Dark pour with white head. Aroma of coffee and some bitter spice. Tastes bitter of some caramel, not bad.

Apr 9, 2009 Pours a dark amber color. Tastes like chocolate and coffee. Generally robust. My favorite New Belgium for sure.
