bottle left at my house that used to belong to shyam... thick black pour topped by a medium brown head with reddish tints. unreal sheets of lacing left behind. the aroma is musty oats, smoke/astringency, licorice, wood, chocolate and umami. the palate is full of dark roasty grains, oatmeal, toasted nuts, chocolate and smoke. tart high roast finish with coffee and some banana like fruitiness in the finish. full body with a creamy texture as the carbonation gets worked up. astringency/acidity from the roast keeps the mouth feel interesting... very simple yet delicious and profound...

Jan 7, 2009 smells like a coffee cream candy from pot o gold chocolates. it poured with a thin but lasting dark head and is dark dark brown. it feels as smooth as velvet.. absolutely awesome feel. the taste is subdued, bitter coffee.

Jan 2, 2009 Bottle, thanks to someone. Black pour with brown ring of head. Aroma is sweet milk, light roasted malt. Flavor is the same, with chocolate as well and caramel sweetness.

Jan 2, 2009 Bottle courtesy of golubj. Very nice looking pour with a dark brown color and a light brown head. Aroma was quite sweet with a lot of chocolate, vanilla, caramel with a very light roasted presence. Flavor was much more balanced than the aroma, but there was still alot of sweetness, that did not seem to work too well. More smokey and roasted elements than the aroma foreshadowed. Maybe I was not in the mood for it, but this did not quite connect with me.

Dec 30, 2008 Bottle. Very powerful chocolate and roast aroma. Black body, light brown head. Flavor follows from aroma, roasted and chocolate, then adds a lengthy bittersweet finish. Delicious.
