Jan 21, 2009 Short 12oz twist-off bottle. dark brown color, light tan foamy head. Nice cocoa aroma, sweet malt, lots of grain in the nose. Sharp roast flavor, lots of burnt grain. Very watery texture, from the lagering. Overall, nice roast. Like coffee with lots of cream. Decent, dry, and burnt.

Jan 3, 2009 Updated: Jan 5, 2009poured dark brown almost black looking, then when held to the light looked more of a dark red color. nice 2 finger head which quickly dissipated, light lacing. Smell has a lot of malts and chocolate, sorta had a espresso smell to it. It was a bit more watery then i had expected from the looks and smells of it. flavors are pretty much like the smells, except im picking up a strong flavor of metallic. not a bad brew, but i was hoping for more out of this one.

Dec 29, 2008 Thanks to Darkover for the trade. The beer is a dark brown color with some red around the edges. Medium thick beige head that recedes quickly. Thin rings of lacing on the glass. Roasted malt and cocoa in the nose. Medium body with flavors of lightly roasted malt, coffee and chocolate. The finish is creamy with a milk chocolate and toasted malt aftertaste. Decent overall.

Dec 23, 2008 Nice dark color, a nice stiff head when poured from a bottle.
The taste was an odd combination of very sweet and mildly sour taste.

Dec 15, 2008 Dark brown body with some pretty garnet at the edges when held to light. The quick fading head was a light tan leather color. The sweet aroma was like molasses and tobacco. There was also some cocoa in the nose. The taste was good for just an instant when first put into my mouth. It had light cocoa and coffee. However, this then quickly turned to a souring feta cheese type funk that threw off the package. Strange to taste good for an instant, then become harsh. The light carbonation was good, but not enough to save the beer.
