Sep 19, 2009 This bottled brew from a bottle shop poured a medium sized head of foamy finely sized light brown colored bubbles that were mostly diminishing and left behind a semi-opaque typically carbonated dark ruby red brown colored body. The aroma was malty and chocolate. The mouth feel was weakly tingly at the start and at the finish with a mellow malty aftertaste. The flavor contained notes of toasted malt roasted malt mildly vinous and dark malt. A decent one that I would consider buying again.

Sep 12, 2009 Very fizzy, hard to discern flavor. Eventually toffee reveals itself. Nice brown appearance, but also flat looking. Burnt chocolate aroma. Bitter finish.

Sep 6, 2009 walnuts, coffee, mild hops aroma. flavor is nutty, chocolatey, and a little little bit of spiciness. the flavor is overall very pleasing, but the beer isn’t nearly as creamy as i thought it would be. if this beer was creamier and relied less on the above average fizz, i would like it a lot more. but even so, i dont think the lack of creaminess is that much of a minus against the beer, because as i noted the flavor is full in and of itself.

Sep 6, 2009 Very dark pour with thin tan head. Faint nose of caramel malt and a little hops and alcohol. Rich chocolate and roasted malt taste, a little spice and vanilla, with a bright finish. Alchohol is present but not at all overwhelming. Perhaps a little light in body, but i don’t thinkn it detracts. Very nice, enjoying with some pierogies!

Sep 5, 2009 Dark, with a thick head. Split with a friend, after a malt liquor, so the alcohol seemed fairly mild. Not as heavy or hoppy as anticipated.

Aug 26, 2009 Bottle from Wegman’s. Pours a very deep reddish brown with a large, rocky, tan head. Caramel nose, sweet and slightly roasted. Big anise/vanilla profile; thin mouthfeel makes this one an easy drinker. Malty body is offset by a well hopped finish. Another winner from Victory.
