Dark brown/black pour. Sweet maltiness with cocoa and coffee in the background. Finish is dry and the mouth feel is a bit thin.

Dec 7, 2007 Poured a dark rich chocolaty color with a medium off-white head. Sweet taste while finishing dry and bitter from Cascade hops. Smooth and well balanced. Dryness in finish really stood out. Perfectly not overwhelming.

Nov 3, 2007 Decent head with light carbonation. Roasty and chocolaty aroma with some sweet malts and dark fruit. Color is a very dark brown. Ooh, not that great a flavor. Thin and watery with an astringent bitterness and some roasted grains. Bit of carbon and coffee bitterness. Finishes strong and roasty with a lingering bitterness and chalkyness. Not very good.
