Really cool looking medicine bottle poured pitch black with a small tan head and alittle lacing on the glass. Chocolate, vanilla, roast, and fruit aroma, possibly some alcohol there as well. Bitter dark chocolate taste, followed by smoke. Mouthfeel was very nice, round and full.

I am really surprised at the low rating on this beer. I found it to very appealing and satisfying. Deep dark black color with a dark brown medium head and strong lacing. Aroma of smoke and coffee and a hint of candy. Flavor was full and smooth with an amazing creamy mouth feel that finishes very dry and bitter. I really enjoyed this one!

3 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20 ARMed (555) - Garnet Valley, Pennsylvania, USA - NOV 12, 2003
Love the bottle but don't like the beer. This stout is as thick as motor oil only blacker. Too thick and robust for me. It has a burnt unsweetened dark chocolate bitter taste with a strong phenolic aftertaste. Extremely viscous and virtually black in color. Almost no head and very little lacing. Poor carbonation. Resembles black molasses.
