Suttree’s 2008 Pre-Brewer’s Jam Tasting. Sample from a bottle thanks to Suttree. Pitch black pour with a thick brown head that coats the glass and leaves a nice ring at the edges. Viscous with a sweet chocolate and roasted nut aroma. Body is chocolate and sweet light coffee with a vinuous red wine or cherry bite.

Brown, Brown head. Some odd nutty aromas, mixed with more traditional smells like coffee and chocolate Flavor is smililar, with a lot of chocolate up front and a winey finish. Thanks to KAggie or this trade!

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.

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.

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!
