Black pour, medium brown head. Aroma is smoke bigtime, licorice and chocolate. Flavor is very smokey, lots of licorice, anise, bittersweet chocolate, coffee and a big hoppy finish. Really a lot of smoke in here killing the other flavors. Body is a little on the thin side and almost undercarbonted thinness to it. Very aggressive with the smoke and just unbalanced but still not bad. Thanks to Kramer and Adrian for bonuses of this.

May 10, 2008 Thanks pepsican. Real nice looking. Smell is almost absent, but some chocolate and cream. Body is the best part of this beer, very thick, creamy. Not a very aggressive taste either. Chocolate, marshmallow, cream, hops, roasty. Very nice beer.

May 10, 2008 black pour with a creamy tan head. Faint chocolate and hop aroma. Flavor had a nice hoppy kick with some chocolate, caramel, smoke,booze, and just a bit of cherry. Finished very creamy.

May 7, 2008 Pours a flat brown with little head. Sweet chocolatey aroma. Flavor is rich, sweet and roasty with moderate alcohol. Pretty good.

May 4, 2008 Bottle, courtesy tronraner. Pours black with brownish highlights. Tons of lacing, giant foamy head. Chocolate is assertive in the nose, with caramel wrapped in booziness. Thick malt is inviting. Flavor has thick caramel, with a chocolate background. Booziness in the finish, and some cotton candy. Hoppy finish balances the overall feel, and quite drinkable as a sipping RIS.

Apr 28, 2008 20070303 Growler? Big and black. Juicy, chewy, smoky dark chocolate. Resinous, bright, and very bitter stuff. In fact, it’s a bit harsh but that’s just lovely and yummy.
