Bottle. Pours a deep reddish-brown with a fluffy brown head. Aroma is roasted malt with oat, chocolate, and slight slight hop characteristics. Taste is nuts and roasted malt up front, dissolving into a beautiful chocolate/caramel flavor with a smooth and dry finish. Hops are barely detectable but seem to add to the overall experience of the beer. Wonderful.

Aug 6, 2008 Very nice dark appearance with a head that starts full and recedes to reveal nice lacing patterns. Rich mocha coffee aroma, toasted malt also. The palate is nutty and full, well balanced between sweet and bitter. Very nice.
