I tried this beer on December 18, 2009 at "Smokeless Joe’s" in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. The beer poured a dark brown, almost black colour with a thin white head. The aroma was weak, but consisted of roasted malt and licorice. The mouthfeel was medium bodied with medium carbonation. The flavour was bitter coffee, smoked wood, licorice, and roasted malt...with a subtle dryness to it.

Jan 3, 2010 Pours dark brown with a caffee latte coloured head. Aroma is strange, loads of green apple and light chocolate. Flavour is green apple, tobaco and light chocolate. This could be an infected bottle.

Poured a very dark, pretty much black, with about 1/2" head.
The first taste was very interesting. At first it tasted kind of like a normal beer, but after about 3 seconds, it had a strong smokey, burnt taste to it.
The bitterness lingered for quite a while.
I’m still not too sure about this one, good thing I bought a couple of them

Dec 20, 2009 Bottle. Black with mocha head, slight reddish-brown hue. Strong roasted malt, some spice and nuttiness in the aroma, oh my. Thin mouthfeel, slight hoppy crispiness. Dark chocolate and roasted nutty malt dominate. Chewy finish. Not perfect, but very solid.
