Looks rich, creamy, and oil-like, without being oily (if that makes sense). Flavor is rich, thick dark chocolate- not too sweet- in fact finishes slightly bitter. beerledgend (919), Waterloo, Wellington, New Zealand

| 4.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 9/10 | 5/5 | 16/20 | Jun 20, 2007 Deep, rich, dark, and malty. There are some subtle coffee flavours, and a nice hop presence. Its nice and heavy without being so extreme that you don’t want to drink it. It is very smooth and tasty. There isn’t much head as the beer warms, just a deep rich black earthy color and aroma. freekyp (908), Thomasville, North Carolina, USA
