Pours a dark, almost burnt looking brown. The aroma is nutty, roasted and seems to have a slight hint of smoke. The flavor is an extension, with a bitterness that seems to round this one out nicely.

Sep 1, 2008 Oakes bottle. Damn good for its style this one. The smell of chocolate. A bit of smoke, lighter mouthfeel. Quite nice. Chocolate and roasty flavour held up well enough after room temperature that I finished another good sized sample then. Black, nothing special on head.

Jul 26, 2008 Updated: Aug 15, 2008Draught (nitro) @ Portsmouth Brewpub. Pours opaque black with a moderate, creamy tan head. Nose is roasty, a bit of cocoa. Taste is round and smooth - cocoa and a bit of coffee, roasty malt, and a very light acidity to balance, very light roasty dryness on the smooth finish. Mouthfeel is creamy with a big round body. Delicious beer.

Jun 24, 2008 Dark brown. Light head. Fudgey, chocolatey and deep aroma - delicious. Balanced, fudgey character. Gets a bit thin and husky (common issue with this brewery). I like the chocolate note, though.

Jun 17, 2008 Draught, sample @ brewpub. Opaque black with small white head and lacing. Rich roasted malt nose and flavors that permeate the body and linger nicely in the finish. Quaffable with a good, and welcomingly thin mouthfeel for optimal sessionability.
