Lagunitasfan (432), San Diego, California, USA Sep 7, 2008 22 oz Bottle. Deep dark color with malty coffee and chocolate scents. Crystal clear-no haze at all. Not much in the nose. Latte colored head leaves a blanket as it dissipates. Interesting flavor. The coffee malty chocolate flavors are there but not immediately. The first flavors are round and sweet like a brown ale. That aspect fades quickly and is replaced by the complex bitterness. The side of the glass is filthy with lace cling-ons. I like this one a lot. swillguzzler99 (19), Glendale, Arizona, USA Sep 4, 2008 Pours a deep brown with a beige head that persists. Nose is of dark chocolate with a possible coffee hint. Taste is more of the same. It’s bitter in a baking chocolate way. Aftertaste sticks around a bit too long. Not bad, but not the best either. k9coug (39), USA Sep 2, 2008 On tap, New York, New York Casino in Las Vegas. Very warming, deep malt flavor. The finish ended rather quickly, rather surprising for such a heavy hitting brew, but not at all dissapointing. Wouldn’t drink two back to back. bluemooner (230), Blaine, Minnesota, USA Sep 2, 2008 Pours a very dark brown with foamy tan head. Very pleasant aroma of roasted malts. Flavor is a bit bitter with hints of chocolate, caramel, coffee, and roasted malts, with a nice caramel finish. A very good beer. mcbackus (725), Merritt Island, Florida, USA Aug 29, 2008 bottle from cbkschubert: pours a dark cola soda brown witha large webby tan head that falls quickly. good aroma of roast and semi sweet chocolate, toffee malts. flavour is lighter than i expected but very refreshing with a weak coffee flavour and soem bittering chocolate some almost spiced malts good finish. nice beer.
Lubiere (4463), Ottawa, Ontario, Canada Aug 25, 2008 A dark clear brown ale with a thick moka head. Aroma of peated malt and coffee moka. In mouth, a chocolate bitterness with smokey notes and prunes. A medium bodied beer. August 2007. BeerHawk (1175), Huntsville, Alabama, USA Aug 25, 2008 Bottle best by 5Dec08. Poured black with a thin tan head that leaves some lacing. The aroma has coffee, milk chocolate and some roast with a slight grass hop background. Lighter coffee in the flavor with some chocolate and roast. Light body and sweet. Slight roast aftertaste. Very decent. superdude1979 (60), Phoenix, Arizona, USA Aug 24, 2008 Nice chocolate tase with a smooth caramel finish. A full bodided beer. Well crafted beer.
