Lots of dark bitter malt, chocolate, coffee. A little bit of sherry & alcohol. Palate is a little thin, carbonation is so-so.

Sep 19, 2008 Bottled. Dark color, thick off-white head. Aroma of grinded coffee, some chocolat, hint of blackcurrant. Malty taste, coffee, quite bitter, slight alcohol burn. Ok stuff.

Sep 18, 2008 0.65l - Dark brown liquid under thin head. No real fizz. Light nose of earthy, spicy flavors. Earthy flavors on palate, almost like Moxie with less of the sweetness. Forgettable

Sep 1, 2008 Bottle: Pours a deep, rich brown that is near black. Tiny thin head. Smells rich with roasty malt and light chocolate tones. Tastes roasty and sweet. Chocolate and malt with a little bitters in the trailer. A little light in the flavor intensity. Decent. Thanks to sparky27 for sending this one.

Aug 24, 2008 The blue wax treatment is cute, bit makes it hard to open the bottle. Nice dark pour with a minimal head and lacing. Nose is sweet malt, coffee and chocolate. Taste recapitulates the nose, and brings in alcohol. Mouthfeel is pedestrian, as is the finish, which leaves an unpleasant metallic taste.
