| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Mar 1, 2008 Bottle poured into pint glass- poured extremely dark brown with some blackness, huge tan head formed and stayed around for awhile. Aroma of roasted malts, scattered with notes of dark chocolate, molasses, and hops, very appealing. Hits the mouth with a thick medium body, very rich on the mouth, malts along with previously said notes come through clearly, finish dissolves away. Very enjoyable.

| 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 5/5 | 16/20 | Mar 1, 2008 Poured a dark ruby brown, almost pitch black, with a thick tan head with unusually large bubbles. Mostly chocolate and coffee aromas, but I could also sense some nuttiness. Chocolate flavors with nuttiness that was more pronounced than in the smell. Additional flavors of roasted malts, then some dark fruits. A wonderfully complex beer. Rich, creamy, smooth - all in all, a very pleasant beer. blipp (1637), Newark, New Jersey, USA
