Courtesy SoLan. Pours a dark mahogany brown with a frothy, cream colored head that settles quickly to a bubbly edge. Wet, sudsy lacing mostly rejoins the body, with a few scant spots escaping their demise. Aromas include dark chocolate, dry cocoa powder, caramel, toasted oak, and roasted grains. A few traces of earthy hop bitterness come through as well. Flavors drop off a good bit, with dry, dusty cocoa and coffee notes lacking both sweetness and bitterness, kind of falling into a no man’s land in between. Medium to thin bodied and dry, the palate left something to be desired. Decent enough brew, but certainly far from special.

SoLan strikes again. Pours a deep rich black, hints of chestnut brown around the edges. Aroma is roasted with slight chocolate and coffee notes, perhaps even a touch of smoke. Flavor is more of the same, with the roasted component leading the charge. I really liked this one.

Bottle @ ORL throwdown, courtesy of SoLan. Black brown body. Thin but dark with a small tan head. Aroma of malts, roast and some chocolate. Malty and roast with a bitter finish. Not hoppy bitter, but roast bitter. Thin mouthfeel.

Bottle... <b>Slap My Ass and Call Me SoLan’s Mom O-Town Throwdown, Part Sept</b>... Pitch black ale with a mid-sized, creamy, deeply tanned head. Incredible retention. The aroma is totally mocha... chocolate and coffee. Medium-bodied with sluggish carbonation. Bland and thin with a restrained offering of coffee grounds and mild acidity. Watery, lightly bitter finish. <b>Kudos to SoLan for the opportunity to try this beer!</b>
