Feb 26, 2008 black pour with a ring of cream colored froth. sweet malts and a hint of sugar as well. chocolate and roasted malts on the palate and a good thickness. this could easily be a daily drinker for me.

Feb 25, 2008 Pours a very dark red with a lot of off-tan head. Odor of oats and malts. Taste of bread, with chocolate and caramel that ends with a creamy aftertaste. This is actually very enjoyable.

Feb 25, 2008 Nice dark pour with a little red around the edges. Half inch of head and nice lacing as you go. Aroma is malts and bread. Flavor is definitely black bread with some chocolate and a little caramel. Nice. I’d buy a 6’er, no doubt.

Feb 25, 2008 22oz bomber from Bevmo Carmel Mountain. Pours clear dark brown with a nice beige head. light toffee, chocolate roasted malt, and coffee. A bit thin, a little overrated but not bad at all.

Feb 24, 2008 Poured a very dark brown with a one inch head, good amount of lacings. A sweet, slightly chocolate flavored beer with a mild hop presence. Overall a malt and chocolate exsperience. Very sessionable just a little underwhelming for my hop prefences. My first Belgium black ale, so I have no reference for this type. Seems to be a lot like Beck’s Dark or Heineken Dark. Very drinkable but not outstanding in any other way.

Feb 20, 2008 pours a burnt brown with a one finger fluffy tan head. aroma is toasted chocolate and caramel malt and a touch of hops. has a medium body with good lacing and carbonation. flavor is the same as aroma but stronger and the chocolate being more cocoa powder and dark chocolate. has a little dry aftertaste and overall not bad. better than fat tire and as it warms the aroma catches up to the flavor a little more rating wise.

Feb 18, 2008 The color is interesting and much darker then what I considered traditional Belgian Dark. 1554 pours a dark, dark brownish red with a light tan head and great lacing to the glass. The smell is sweet with chocolate maltiness. Not quite a Belgian Dark but not like a stout or porter. It’s very unique, which is very nice, and has a coco-coffee with a slight toffee taste to it. It is remarkably smooth and not heavy as one would expect from a darker ale. There is a great combo of happy citrus hops and a zesty acidic yeast that blends well. I think this beer is a great smooth taste and is very unique.
