Sep 25, 2009 Pours a dark brown with basically no head. Aroma is of licorice and coffee. Taste is dark with some bitter coffee and malt. Finish is smooth, but pretty bitter. Kind of disappointing.

Sep 14, 2009 Much thanks to Durhambeer for this my 700th! Pours with a small brown espresso swirl head. Aroma is plenty of raisin and plum with some chocolate, plenty of molasses and a little burnt toast. The flavor is fairly dominated by the burnt toast thing, but it’s fairly balanced by plums, a light nuttiness, some dark chocolate, and some cherry. There is plenty of bitterness and the alcohol is mildly intrusive but warming and whiskey like at the same time.

Sep 1, 2009 Pours solid black with a thick brown head. Aroma is complex with dark chocolate, vanilla, plum, and sweet roast malt. Taste is alc, cocoa, vanilla, and finishes with bitter roast/hop. Medium thin body with mild carbonation gives it a creamy coffee like texture.

Sep 1, 2009 Bottle compared side by side with stone ris. Pours a near black with quick fading brown head. Nose is hot, chocolate, roast, bandaid, plastic. Flavor is roast chocolate with a nutty vegetal with a wierd plastic Silky texture. But there is something unusual here that I don’t care for. More like an imperial stout mixed with a nut brown.

Sep 1, 2009 Pours a dark black with a dissapating tan head. Aroma of roasted coffee, grounds, plastic, chocolate, alchohol, dark fruit. Similar taste, has some heat to it. Solid beer but I can’t get past the weird plastic-like aroma.

Aug 31, 2009 Bottle from frumptydumpty. About 1.5 yrs old. Opaque black with medium, creamy burnt brown head. Aroma is aged fruit, cherry, roast, sweet cardboard, coffee and roasted chocolate. Flavor is roast, chocolate, cherry, some alc but smooth, oxidation but not as bad as the aroma, mollases, sweeter brown sugar, espresso, not bad. Medium, creamy body with slight alc burn. Overall, could be past it’s prime but its still tasting pretty good.
