Mar 6, 2009 Chocolately! It had a nice dark pour with chocolate notes on the nose. Taste was a good mixture of sweet and bitter. I like it!

Mar 6, 2009 12 oz. bottle. Pours a deep brown with an off white, nearly tan head. Aromas of burnt toffee and dark chocolate with a slight hints of oak and liquid smoke. Flavor is less impactful than expected with a malty, woodsy start that fades into a dark chocolate, somewhat chalky finish. Not bad.

Mar 5, 2009 Dark brown beer with a tan head. Caramel and slight molasses in the aroma. Thin with some roasted malt and a bit of caramel and toffee. Really pretty dull.

Mar 5, 2009 Pours dark caramel brown with a 3 finger creamy tan head that has great retention. Aroma is caramel, roast, lots of chocolate, fig and fresh grain. Flavor is chocolate, roast, ashy wood notes, another shot of slightly drier chocolate and some pear notes. Finish is roast, chocolate and a mild charred bitterness that seems like it must be from the malt because it really seems devoid of hop notes. Palate is smooth medium to thin and has a slightly chalky feel. Overall it is a really nice, smooth, easy to drink would go well in the place of a schwarzbier or porter.

Mar 1, 2009 Color is a nearly opaque ruby red with a short lasting tan head. Just a bit of sweetness on the nose but nothing overwhelming. Taste is chocolate, mocha and a slight tart fruitiness. A nice and creamy beer, easy drinking.

Mar 1, 2009 Pours a killer dark mahogany red with a finger of tan head. Lacing is nice all the way. Nose is tons of sweet malts, caramel and molasses. Taste is sweet malts and lots of roasty goodness. Almost no bitterness at all. Pretty silky mouthfeel which is slightly thinner than a porter, but thicker than most ales. A unique and delicious brew. I drink this all the time.
