UPDATED: DEC 19, 2009 22 oz. Deep chestnut with ruby highlights. Small creamy disc of foam lasts and laces well. Nose is espresso, popcorn (no butter), and oak. Flavors of coffee, oak, citrus, dark-roasted walnut and bitter chocolate. Medium-heavy body is smoothly carbonated, roasty dry and thinned out well by the alcohol.

22 ounce bottle from Vintage Cellar in Blacksburg, VA. Pours a dark orange brown color with small floating particles. Thin head with fair head retention and decent lacing. Aroma of floral and citrus hops, chocolate, caramel and faint roastiness. Taste is bitter resinous hops with nutty roasty notes and a bit of caramel. Smooth, medium bodied and pretty good.

Pours deep red/brown with off white head, aroma is big zesty lemon and orange hops. Taste is grapefruit, lemon, orange up front leading into some smoky and bitter finish. Good version of a dark IPA, much more IPA than dark, but tasty.

Can I say I hate wax dipped bottle heads, it took friggin 10 minutes to get this open. Pours thick black with sprucey nose. tastes of burnt toast, dark chocolate, earth, bitter hops. Finishes chalky and dry. nice interesting brew

Wonderful aroma of malty coffee, and taste begins a bit thin with a light bittering and slight sweet toffee taste but the aftertaste is pure bittered coffee. An interesting change of pace, not sure about a steady diet, but interesting taste and well presented bottle with it’s waxed top.

A dark brown pour with a reddish hint. A small, foamy head leaves some lacing. A floral, hoppy aroma, with a slight nuttiness. Nice crisp, medium body mouth. Well balanced flavor starting with a hint of roasted coffee and ending with a strong hop note and some bitterness. A satisfying beer that can be enjoyed both alone and with steak or stronger cheeses.

nice amber color. smoky aroma. off white head. nice tangy hoppy flavor. great soft feel and fairly smooth going down. good beer.
