Tap @ Blind Tiger. Pours a deep reddish-brown with a small off-white head. Aroma of malt, chocolate, coffee notes, and slight Belgian yeast. Taste is malt up front with chocolate and yeast notes, ending in a smooth and slightly coffee/woody aftertaste. Remains very smooth and drinkable throughout. I enjoyed this one.

Oct 3, 2008 Pours ebony into a snifter. Mocha head leaves sheet lacing. Pine needles, alcohol and fig aromas. Spritzy with sour cherry pit from front to back. Roasty finish. A nice warmer.

Sep 30, 2008 Tap at the Sunswick. Poured brown with a thin brown head. This had a chocolate and stout nose. Flavor followed along those lines. Kind of a creamy mouthful with a medium body. Finish was slightly bitter. Nice belgian stout.

Sep 22, 2008 Pours a deep, dark reddish brown with a thick, light-tan head. Aroma is port wine with a bit of cabernet sauvignon, other sweet fruits and tart cherries, Belgian yeast and a whole heap of sweet malts. Flavor is pleasantly tart, like a good cab with notes of cherries, molasses and a touch of toasty wood to finish. Mouthfeel is perfect - good carbonation, but silky smooth. Wonderfully complex. I’m very impressed.
