Courtesy of Quake1028. Pours deep dark amber with rich looking mocha head and some cobweb lacing. The aroma is sweet smelling with sweet malts that are only mildly roasty mixed with a hint of molasses, some mild coffee notes and chocolate. In the taste I get rich chocolate malts, roasted malts, some mild coffee and notes of malt balls and cotton balls (hmm). I’m also getting molasses as the finish approaches along with an off note of faint soap.

The aroma has a lot of milk chocolate, caramel, sweet cream and toasted malt notes. The coffee seems to be rather muted to my nose. The body is a dull black and holds a diminishing mocha head that leaves ample lacing.
The fore has sweet cream, chocolate and coffee along with some vaguely vegetable notes. Fairly roasted malt component. Has a smooth feel to it and finishes sweet. Again the coffee side of things doesn’t seem especially large though the flavor is fairly prominent on the finish. It also feels a lot like cold coffee as you swallow.
It is enjoyable on the whole, but doesn’t wow me like most NG beers do.

Jul 5, 2008 Pours out black with a tan head, retention is pretty good, some lacing. Smell is of roasted coffee and chocolate, no hops in the nose. Taste starts of a bit bitter from roastiness and then becomes more chocolate-y with a roasted finish. Higher on carbonation, but not harsh, lighter side of medium bodied, dry finish. Overall I really liked this and will be drinking plenty while it’s still around.

Jun 4, 2008 Bottle shared by shegadeyo. Poured dark brown color with medium brown creamy head that mostly lasted with good lacing. Medium roasted coffee and chocolate aroma. Medium body with a smooth texture. Medium to heavy roasted flavor with a medium bittersweet finish of moderate duration. My expectations where met.
