Black with a thin tan head and lacing. Smell is chocolate and marshmallows with some burnt roasted hints in there. Still, it is fairly muted. Flavor has some nice roasted dark chocolate to it. Thin palate but not awful by any means.

Apr 27, 2008 Yeah, not quite an imperial stout, so the foreign stout distinction is apt - dark brown/ruby beer, with a small, soapy lace - interesting aroma of cocoa, vanilla bean, tobacco, and an earthy, almost briny character that reminds me of seaweed salad (I’m not crazy, I smell it damn you!) - it’s actually a wee bit nutty and salty up front, but this quickly makes way for chocolate sweetness, which itself is swiftly undercut by tobacco and leafy herb bitterness - lingering notes of hazelnut - a very mild background acidity - some very interesting earthy components to this one - just different enough to stand out - but I swear something about this reminds me of seaweed salad.

Apr 25, 2008 Bottle sampled with Mad Indian. Pours black with ruby edges and a large tan head. Aroma of roasted malts, choclate, coffee. the flavor is roast, coffee, chocolate, slightly sweet, and a little thin in mouth feel. Good brew.

Apr 25, 2008 Pours a deep black with a hint of red and a thick tan head. Very nice roasted grain, chocolate malt, coffee, and some spicy hop aroma. Yummy. Medium body with lots of chocolate malt and roasted grains. Some hops are in there just top keep things from getting too sweet and chocolaty. As it warms, it becomes sweeter and fruitier. Very nice.

Apr 24, 2008 330 ml bottle, black cap. Pours jet black, light brown, rocky head. Aroma of roasted coffee beans, dark bittersweet chocolate, roasted oatmeal and barley, licorice, and maduro cigar. Very sweet malt flavor. Pleasant fruitiness. Lots of roast, grain, oat. All of these flavors are followed with a coffee roast bitterness. Some residual dark chocolate flavors, vanilla, and creamy caramel. Chewy texture. just like a piece of candy! Cheers...
