WeeHeavySD (1866), San Diego (Hillcrest), California, USA Sep 25, 2008 12oz i’m guessing that came from lb4lb. Shared with my gf Cyn. Pours black with a 1 finger tan head. Nose is sweet and rich with lots of chocolate and coffee notes. Taste is sweet and chocolately but not any where near as rich as the nose portends. Overall nice mouth feel after a while. Nice beer overall. BMan1113VR (919), Los Angeles (and Dallas, TX), California, USA Sep 24, 2008 Bottle thanks to bu11zeye. Pours with a huge, dark brown head covering a black body. Aroma of soy, chocolate, alcohol, and cinnamon. Taste is coffee, alcohol, chocolate, smoke, spices, and overall, pretty rich. Syrupy mouthfeel, light carbonation. eaglefan538 (2077), Wilmington, Delaware, USA Sep 20, 2008 Bottle shared by doulos31/goodgrief. Pour was typical for the style, dark brown-black but with only a normal/weak looking head. The aroma was vinous, coffee, chocolate. The flavor followed the aroma while it finished with some roasted ashy notes, though. Slightly bitter finish, probably more from the roast than any substanial hopping. Mouthfeel was slightly acidic, a little on the light side for the style. A decent but not wonderful brew. Thanks for sharing, Tom! Goodgrief (1055), Middletown, Delaware, USA Sep 16, 2008 Beer pours dark, smallish head and little lacing. The chalkiness of the first sip is striking. I like the chalky thing in my stouts. The flavor is lots of roast, cocoa, maybe a hint of dark fruit and a touch of ash in the finish. Sweet, but certainly under control and not difficult to drink at all. Decently complex and above average in enjoyment. It didn’t wow me, but left me without any concrete complaints. jake65 (1274), Meridian, Idaho, USA Sep 11, 2008 Bottle courtesy of degarth. Dark brown, near black pour with a large, creamy brown head. Thick bits of lacing. Smells of roasted malts and chocolate. Very rich. Maybe a hint of smoke. Tastes smooth with lots of cocoa and roast. Creamy and sweet. Toasty malt and bittersweet chocolate swirl together. Solid.
