Mar 25, 2009 12 oz bottle courtesy of the Binnys Singles Rack (Orland Park, IL). I’ve had this a few times before, but finally grabbed a bottle to enjoy and rate. Pours a nice dark reddish brown, largely clear, with fairly big tannish head that bubbles and laces. Aromas are light, chocolate and light darker malts, a touch of coffee, with light fruity sweetness. Initial is fairly light on the palate, medium to light bodied, with light roast, cocoa, and coffee mixed with some light fruity sweetness balancing the bitterness. Smooth and sessionable, with a decent flavor profile. A touch biscuity and caramel notes. Nice, sessionable, a little light overall.

Mar 24, 2009 Brown, almost black, with a creamy tan head and some decent lacing. The nose was subtle, with chocolate and expresso. Flavor was chocolate malts, dark roast coffee, and just a bare hint of raspberry. Very smooth and creamy mouthfeel.
Superbly drinkable. I LOVE this beer.

Mar 24, 2009 Dark brown to near black hue. Nice creamyish foam head with excellent lacing. Nose of plummy chocolate. Surprisingly the palate is not too heavy. Chocolate malts and some very mild hop to balance. Very clean taste. Decent beer.

Mar 22, 2009 Beautiful red/brown pour with pillowy off-white head. Sweet chocolatey malt nose. A bit sharp and a tad bit of smoke. More of the smoke and a slightly richer chocolate/toffee taste, though still a very light beer. More smoke quality than expected based on other ratings. Decent.

Mar 20, 2009 22 oz bottle: Pours a rich reddish brown with a hardy tan head. Aroma of malt, caramel, and a slight coffee or brown sugar. A very surprising flavor of chocolate, nuts, caramel, and coffee. Definitely not what I expected, but a good beer nonetheless.

Mar 18, 2009 Pours into a dark chocolate beer with a tan head that dissipated very quickly. The aromas of coffee and roasted malts were prevalent. Initial flavors of coffee and ended with a bitter sweet chocolate taste. Not a bad beer.
