Bigmmartin (366), Dayton, Ohio, USA Aug 5, 2009 Dark reddish beer with a medium brown head. Nice aroma of sweet malts. Flavor is sweet chocolate and roasted malts. Dry in the finish. Smooth and fun.

The flavor is sweet malty with notes of berries and caramel. jvmiller (532), Bel Air, Maryland, USA Jul 30, 2009 Very tasty, light roated malt, sweet like a porter, roasted, but not too much. Does not cling to the palate, clean, refreshing for a dark beer. Just very good and drinkable, while roasted and sweet. Bigsilky (322), Charleston, USA Jul 30, 2009 Slightly chilled into a New Belgium goblet. Nice head, deep mahoganey color. Toasty malt and a touch of roast in the nose, with suggestion of fresh fig. Malty, somewhat sweet upfront, the malt turns warm and the roast develops. Mild but crisp hops clean the beer up. Very nice, very drinkable. Not amazingly complex, but a solid beer. Try with a nice fontina. mcmd (132), Louisville, Kentucky, USA Jul 29, 2009 pours a dark brown with offwhite sudsy lacing and small head. Smell is subdued chocolate roasted malt, smoke, toffee. Flavor is a one dimensional mild smoky chocolate malt. Not a huge fan.
