smoky, chocolaty aromas are immediately evident. Harsh, hoppy, smoky mouth feel. alcohol evident, Some roasted chocolate follows. Also some notes of dark fruits, prunes. I agree that this beer would be 10 times better if aged, if only for a year. but still a massive brew. IPAaLLtHEwAY (83), La Crosse, Wisconsin, USA Jul 5, 2008 Pours black with a thick tan head. Smells like coffee. Flavor is of hops and coffee with a hint of cocoa.The aftertaste is very long lasting and smooth. 1_2many (101), Ohio, USA Jul 5, 2008 Bottle thanks to my father. Every now and then he picks out a winner. Black with a nice frothy light brown head. Pleasantly surprising how much hops stand out at first followed by dark chocolate and coffee. Sweet and very smooth at first with a wonderful lingering bitter aftertaste. Fantastic. dwaggs2 (11), Warrensburg, Missouri, USA Jul 3, 2008 Hard to get ahold of this guy. This was a great beer. Dark and deep in flavor. High in alcohol better could not taste like it. Another must try. Would buy again. daknole (483), Plantation, Florida, USA Jul 3, 2008 Black pour, small head. Delicious. sweet and malty with a real nice hop bite. this one is creamy and nice.
