Bottle. Pours opaque with a large, frothy, dark brown head, mostly lasting with fair lacing. Aroma is heavy malt (coffee, chocolate, nutty), light hop (grass), average yeast (leather) with notes of tar, charcoal, prune, and dates. Full bodied, creamy texture, lively carbonation, and a bitter finish. Long duration, moderate sweetness, acidity, and bitterness.

Bottle courtesy of RealityDeviant on 04/30/2009. Dark black body with faint ruby highlights and a medium creamy light brown head. Big coffee, roast and spicy hop aroma. Big coffee flavor with some light roast and caramel a with a bit of bitter background. Medium light body with moderate carbonation, though almost lighter than the aroma implies.

Compliments of the Monsignor himself, the indelible, DrBayern! Al consumed at Ed’s beer palace in the area of croatan. The beer poured pitch black pour with light ruby hints at the edges. Thin cover of tan head, dark roasted aroma of coffee beans. Very light carbonation and body. The flavour was of deep earth and dirt, dark coffee beans. Extremely well made and enjoyable. Complete yummos !
