Nov 28, 2008 Bottle. Heavy malt aromas of roasted and strong coffee, moderate resin for the hops and earth for the yeast with background notes of charcoal, honey and a faint hint of licorice. Head is creamy, light brown with fair lacing and is mostly diminishing. Color is dark brown, almost black. Flavor starts moderately sweet and lightly acidic and finishes moderately sweet, lightly acidic and moderate to heavily bitter. Palate is medium to full, creamy almost syrupy, and has a soft carbonation. It finishes a touch chalky. Deep and rich like a stout, more than I expected from an American Strong. Still very good though.

Nov 20, 2008 Aroma is a rich, sweet and roasted. Color is black with mellow carbonation and a thin tight tan head. Taste is unbelievably rich, roasted and complex. It starts with a full body that goes down with a rich and crisp feel. Finish is bold and rich coming on with roasted coffee and dark chocolate then sweet toasted vanilla backed by a dry bitterness. After taste is sweet with burnt notes and a trace of alcohol. This is just a flat out amazing brew and is one of the most complex and rich brews I have had.

Nov 19, 2008 Pours black with a thick tan head that dissipates quickly. Aroma is chocolatey, with roasted malt and caramel, oak, and vanilla. Flavor is extremely well balanced. Roasted malt, coffee, chocolate, and dark fruits. Mouthfeel is thinner than expected, but it doesn’t take away from the beer. This is deserving of a 4.

Nov 18, 2008 Tasting @ Binnys. ASA??? thought this was a porter. Pours a slick, thick, viscous midnight black color; completely opaque, porter like. Malty, light roasted aroma with oak/ vanilla sweet notes and hints of chocolate and alcohol. Medium to full body with a warm alcoholic finish. Roasted flavor of fruits, dried fruits, vanilla, chocolate, liquorice and hops. Nice brew.
