Wow! Did I love this beer! It was very hard to find fault with this one. The roasted malts were sublime and somewhat akin to an imperial stout, but not as heavy, my idea of the perfect beer.The color is dark, but with a disappointing head. The flavor was smoky and robust. The lack of a pronounced hop flavor will disappoint the ale drinkers, but I liked it. The finish was short and sweet.

Aug 10, 2008 12oz bottle: As name implies, near black in color. Frothy off-white head. Aroma of sweet roasted malt with a hint of chocolate and caramel. Deep roasted flavor with a slight hint of cocoa. Finishes a little crisp. Very well balanced. One of my favorite S.A. offerings.
