Bottled, thanks for sharing, iowaherkeye. We had this next to an infected old bottle of Perkunos Hammer. The Perkunos was great when it was fresh as I was lucky enough to have it a few times. This one had a black body with a yellowish khaki head. The aroma was milk chocolate and sweat. There was also some bread crust. The taste was strong milk chocolate with some caramel and tobacco notes. Decent.

Aug 17, 2008 650 ml, bb Dec 31 2008. Clear (when held to the light), deep mahogany with a small, persistent head. Aroma is an odd mix of wood, chalky caramel, fruity-herb coffee and chocolate. Flavor is chalky cocoa with some light apple-cherry and char. Finish of coffee, char, marshmallow and light alcohol. Medium body is a little too watery and frothy, but nicely dried by some roasty flavors.

Aug 16, 2008 Bottle poured into English pint glass. It
poured dark brown, almost black with a
2-finger tan head. Aromas of roasted
malt and some underlying nuttiness. The
taste was primarily malt sweetness with
undertones of chocolate, caramel and a
very slight smokiness with a nice, slightly bitter finish. Overall, very nice.

Aug 15, 2008 Deep brown in color with a thin head that dissipated quickly. The nose has aromas of chocolate, plum, fig and spice. In the mouth it was medium to full-bodied and semi-concentrated with a slightly dry finish. Fairly simple but nice.

Aug 14, 2008 Heavy flavors of roasted malt and chocolate. Thinner body than I expected, and the head dissipates quickly. It’s a good beer and I’ll probably revisit it, although I would rather have his one in 12oz bottles rather than 22oz.

Aug 13, 2008 Bottle (22oz). Pours a very deep ruby-brown with a large diminishing frothy tan head. Aroma’s roasty and quite fruity with notes of coffee, chocolate and toffee -- pretty nice. Flavour of dark malt, dark fruit, toffee, nuts and chocolate. Decent bitter finish. Alcohol’s totally hidden. Medium bodied, oily mouthfeel. No complaints here, it seems right on style and I quite liked it. Almost hard to drink the whole bottle though due to the style, just a personal preference.
