Not the jet black of imperials (you can actually see into this beer), but rather, dark, dark brown. An off-white head with moderate lacing follows. First scents were dominated by sweet chocolate, but within minutes, coffee roasts dominated. Some bitterness in the taste, which helps to offset the dominant roast flavor. As it warms, the roasts become less dominant, which makes the beer more enjoyable, and the end tastes are a little salty. It’s very drinkable in its simplicity.

Jul 17, 2008 Pours dark brown/ruby color with a tan head that quickly dissappates. Aroma a burnt roasted choco- coffee smell, and something else that I cant quite place. Decently carbonated, moderately flavorful, can be sweet at times, others times complex, sometimes simple. kind of like a women. Decent brew from Rogue.

Jul 8, 2008 Deep coffee and chocolate flavors...lighly hopped and an undeniable sweetness that curls in the foretaste. Although this is not my favorite style of brew, it was pretty enjoyable nonetheless.
