Others have described the flavour which is as they say good for a dark ale. Falls short as it’s overly carbonated leaving the palate foamy and dry. A good start for talented but amateur brewer.

On tap at brewpub. Interesting tasting, stuff I enjoyed this, it is a lot lighter in taste then your typical old ale, but it drinkings nice and it tastes pretty good overall, quite enjoyable.

On tap at the brewpub, dark copper color, with some ruby highlights and a beige head, with a fruity, mild toasted, caramelized, roasted malt nose with some light chocolatey, nutty accents, and faint dark dried fruit notes in the aroma follows through on a medium-bodied palate with a fruity, toasted, roasted, caramel malt character, with some toffee, black coffee, dark chocolate flavours, with a hint of burnt chestnut, leading towards a fruity, toasted, roasted malt, lingering hop bittering finish.

Draught. My favorite of the Olde Stone house brews. Pours a deep copper reddish-brown with a toffee and wood nose. Very light and easy drinking. Goes well with a Olde Stone burger. Thin and watery feel to the brew which is typical of their brews.

Aroma:Chocolate and coffee nose.... Appearance:Dark with a good white head... Flavor:Sweet coffe flavor....

On tap Nov 28. Coppery brown with a thin beige head. Aroma is malt, yeast, a bit of chocolate. Lightly carbonated. Taste is not too sweet, with fruit, chocolate, caramel, and lotsa malt. Slightly hoppy finish.

On tap at the Olde Stone Brewery. Dark pint. Name totally threw me off. Something along the lines of "sure to satisfiy the dark ale lover". Well it was okay, better than most I’ve had, but nothing special. I was expecting a kick in the face bitter with a full body. It was a good experience nonetheless. Very light bitterness. Medium body, and had a creamy mouthfeel. Hints of nuttiness, malt and a small amount of chocolate was evident in the flavour. Would drink again, but definitely not worth the premium price. Then again, all tap beers are expensive.
