Small fizzy brown head mostly diminishing. Fair display of lacework. Pitch black. Heavy aroma of liquorish, chocolate, roasted malt, dark fruit. Medium to full bodied with a warming alcoholic texture and a soft carbonation. Moderated sweet flavour with light bitter notes. Heavy liquorish finish that lingers.

| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 5/5 | 7/10 | 5/5 | 15/20 | Jan 12, 2008 Draft at KClinger’s. Pitch black with a thin but dark tan head that clings just to the side. Vague roasty aroma. Smooth flavors that you’d expect, maybe even a hint of a bourbon barrel, but not over the top. Nice. (#3286, 1/10/2008) egajdzis (3645), Spring Mount, Pennsylvania, USA
| 4.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 5/5 | 9/10 | 5/5 | 18/20 | Oct 7, 2007 Updated: Oct 26, 2008[2007 Cask @ brewpub] Poured an opaque black color with a medium sized, tan head that left nice lacing on the glass. Aroma of roast, smoked malts, chocolate, some caramel malts, and a bit of dark fruit. Taste was woody, with chocolate, roast, light nuts, roast, with smoke, citrus hops, and a little bit of alcohol. Nice mouthfeel. The bottles really don’t compare to this beer on cask. Dickinsonbeer (3604), Hoboken, New Jersey, USA
| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Mar 29, 2009 Bomber. Pours a nice deep almost black with a foamy lasting head. Aroma is very herbal, hoppy, green acetaldehyde, toasted malts, burnt acrid charred malts, and light roast. More green apple in the flavor, dry burnt malts, burnt toast, nutty, earth, herbal, lots of fresh hops, and actually not even all that smooth in the end. Im not sure if I have ever had a good bottle of this now that I think of it. BA version is so good, it is weird how the regular version is so much different.
