I was pretty into the flavor - smokey malts, rich dark chocolate, bitter hops . . . palate was nice too. Aroma was pretty nonexistent though when faced up with the flavors. Pretty good. hapjydeuce (771), Del Mar, California, USA

Deep brown color with lighter edges and thin brown rings. Some carbonation and an aroma of charred wood and lots of coffee / espresso. Similar coffee aroma with blackened bread and a bit of an acidic finish. Average bitterness with a medium body that finishes with a lot of smoke. Not bad. DenverLogan (421), MileHi, Colorado, USA

Bottle: The aroma consists of chocolate, roasted malts, smoke, plums, alcohol, and faint coffee. It pours a dark brown, virtually black with a small tan head. The flavor starts with moderate chocolate and roasted malt. There’s some hints of plum in the background. Lots of smoke in the finish really blends well. There’s also some light coffee, licorice, grapefruit hops, and alcohol in the finish as well. There is a slight warming affect...tastes bigger than 9%. I really like the smoky character. Full bodied with an oily mouth feel and mild carbonation.
