Jun 4, 2008 Blankboys bottle, thanks Paul! App: Certainly looks like an ale! Deep red/brown, creamy head. Aroma, sour apple and chocolate, flavour: Smokey, nutty, roasty! Short-quick finish! Like I wasn’t drinking at all!!! Lovely

Jun 4, 2008 Bottle (12oz). Shared by blankboy with garthicus. Very deep clear brown-red pour, average tan head. Dry, sharply spicy/yeasty aroma (Belgian/Unibroue yeast-like), with dry cocoa and a hint of roasty fruity malt. Taste - VERY nice - light in character, mild brown ale-like dry roast with ripe pear and light floral hop bitterness - but man what a quick finish. Light body, only mildly carbonated, no aftertaste, but I think pints of this would hit the spot for me year-round.

Jun 4, 2008 Updated: Jul 1, 2008Probably my absolute favorite dark beer. Chocolatey flavor with a hint of coffee that tastes divine. Truly a unique beer with a great, foamy white head. The only bad part about this beer is the empty bottle at the end.

Jun 4, 2008 Pours a dark brown with a small white head. Aroma of chocolate, roasted barley and malt. Flavor is chocolate, malts, hops and sweetness. The chocolate sticks around inside your mouth and is slick feeling. Not bad.

Jun 1, 2008 This was a refreshing ale I drank in Texas when I went to see Radiohead. Not too strong, it was smooth with a lucid, reddish dark appearance.

Pours a translucent dark brown with ruby highlights, beige head, decient retention, slight lacing. Aroma is similar to a schwartz beer, slight dark roast. Flavor is slightly sweet dark roast, very slight dark fruit with light alcohol spice, slight dark grain bitter, very slight hop bitter. Palate is medium-high carbonation, medium body. Very good beer.....Reminded me of what I thought a good schwartz beer would taste like, just turns out what I wanted would be a black ale instead of a black lager......Good stuff! and yes, I said "Slight" alot in this rating.....

May 25, 2008 Initially, I was a little worried when I took a deep breath of 1554. The scent was the only thing I was not sompletely sold on. This beer has a great, deep color, and then I tasted it, and could not stop. Flavor is fairly complex and goes down smooth, leaving that same feeling on the roof of your mouth. Very good beer!
