Oct 21, 2005 Nose is a mocha coffee and with a medium head. It has a semisweet smokey chocolate coffe taste with the body of an average porter.

Oct 18, 2005 Lots of chocolate and bitter in the Dark Island. Not as impressed with it as I was Red or the Skullsplitter. Maybe I got a bad bottle. Will revisit this beer again.

Oct 5, 2005 Black/dark brown. Thick, creamy, light tan head. Roasted malt and chocoffee aroma similar to a porter. Interesting. Burnt coffee, roasted malt, bitter chocolate, touch of licorice, tastes like a porter. Medium body, a bit sweet, well carbonated. Pretty good, evidence that a beer does not need high abv to have some depth.

Sep 27, 2005 Dark clear brown pour, with a ruby-glinted pour. Topped with a quickly fading bubbly tan head. Earthy and grassy strong oats and wheat aroma, very grainy and malty. Coarse, yet enticing. Some chocolate aroma. Watery and crisp, with a smooth oaty and earthy. Lots of horseblanket and sheep barn. A tinge of chocolate, no alcohol burn. Very drinkable. Much like a beefed up Mild Ale to me.

Sep 27, 2005 Biscuity, toasty, lightly spiced (cinnamon), raisins, bittersweet chocolate in the aroma. Clear, dark ruby brown with decent, fine-bubbled, tan head that recedes to a lasting cover with some lacing. Biscuity, toasty malts with some chocolate and moderate roasty bitterness in the finish. Medium-light body is quite dry with crisp, lightly prickly carbonation. Shaker glass, allowed to warm from fridge temp. Bottle (Bello Vino, Jul-05).

Sep 22, 2005 Pours beautifully dark, tastes a bit too smooth if anything. The smoky flavor of heath and hops slide across the palate, giving you little to fight with. Not a bad beer, but priced like a great beer.
