Dec 11, 2008 Bottle pours black with thin tan head. Aroma is chocolate, hints of coffee and dark fruits. First taste is sweet chocolate and slight dark fruits in the middle. Clean dry finish. A little watery but better than I had expected. A little pricey but its the holidays. Worth a splurge.

Dec 11, 2008 Pours a very dark brown/black in color with a decent wispy tan head which diminishes down to a thin film pretty quickly. Aroma is light chocolate, caramel malt, some raisin and toffee. Flavor is starts off with light chocolate up front, some vinyl taste for a fraction of a second was detected, some raisin flavor in the middle and moves into a decent chocolate bitterness toward the end. I have been searching for this beer for a few years around my area and have never found it but am very disappointed and unimpressed by this Sam offering. For the price I was expecting a very superb beer but only found an low to average tasting beer. I will definitely not buy this one again unless I find for drastically less.

Dec 11, 2008 Wow...they spent a lot of money to package this beer. If the packaging had a rating this would be high. Aroma was very weak. Theres definately some chocolate there but its faint. Pour was decent deep dark brown with a half a finger tan head. Taste was pretty weak. Very watery and thin with chocolate being the only thing that emerges [though hard to pick out] As it warms theres some is some vanilla coming out. Very little carbonation and very boring

Dec 10, 2008 BIg bottle. Opaque, black, filtered. Nose of chocolate, German yeast, a bit simple. Taste comes off very chocolately, sweet, a bit viscous, yeasty, alcohol well hidden. Sort of thin body. A good beer but not worth the $14 for a bottle.

Dec 10, 2008 Bottle courtesy of BOLTZ7555. Thanks Jason! Pours a clear black with reddish hues and a fast dissipating beige head. Nose is light dark fruits, roasted malt and cocoa. Taste is caramel, dark fruits and an ashy cocoa finish. Medium mouth feel. Decent, but not worth the price tag.
