Feb 21, 2009 Very dark black with thin, quickly dissapating head.The aroma is not quite there. O.K. malt taste but it doesn’t linger that long.

Feb 18, 2009 Body is black in appearance with a decent head. Roasted malt aroma. Pretty well balanced beer. Sweet malt, chocolate in the beginning with some bitterness to the finish.

Feb 5, 2009 Bottle. Pours near black with a tan head. Nice roasted malt aroma with a touch of chocolate sweetness. The aroma has loads of semi-sweet chocolate, which is very nicely balanced with roasted malts, and a nice light hoppy bitterness. I’m surprised to see this rated so low, I guess it’s not an overwhelming palate killer like some imp. stouts, but it’s a very drinkable and the type of beer that wouldn’t scare away someone new to craft beers. A winner in my book.

Feb 4, 2009 I don’t even get why this is rated below a 3.5. Maybe early batches were off, but I had a year old bottle last night that was stupid awesome. Nose of cinnamon, cream, candied fig, espresso and chocolate. Flavors of the same with darker fruit and spice. Seriously smooth and very unique.

Feb 1, 2009 Dark pour with a deep brown head. Aroma of dark fruit, strong roast, smoke, and coffee. Had a medium full body with well blended flavors. Finished smooth with some dark fruit, alcohol, and a little sweet. Good brew.

Feb 1, 2009 Draft at the Beechtree. Pours a dark brown to black with a thick mocha head that falls off rather quickly. Aromas of roasted malt, roasting coffee, smoke, and caramelizing toast. Body is about medium, but remarkably sweet. Not the sweet that smacks of under attenuation, but a surprising and unexpected sweet that makes one stop and think. More of the roast comes through in the mouth as well before moving onto a long and slow developing finish with a nice burnt bitterness to it.
