Thanks to Skyview for sharing. The bear was near opaque black/brown motor oil, moderate amount of light brown head, oily legs. In the aroma there was burnt malt (faint chocolate and smoke). In the flavor there was dry burnt/charred malt (faint chocolate and smoke). Bitter burnt malt finish. As it warmed I got more alcohol and sugar. The beer had a moderately heavy mouthfeel.

Aug 12, 2008 Bottle: Dark pour with a bubbly tan head. Some smoked character to this one aroma-wise, alcohol is very present in the nose. Flavor is much more smoked than I can handle, soy sauce - salty quality to it overtop weak chocolate malt. Drinkable for those that enjoy this flavor- - not my thing.

Jul 5, 2008 Black with a tan head and spotty lacing. Smell was roasty, it also had caramel, maple syrup, and burnt wood. Taste also had maple syrup, caramel, and chocolate, but the taste had a lot more roastiness than the aroma. Medium carbonation with light body. Pretty drinkable beer, thanks to iowaherkeye for sharing.

May 12, 2008 A big thanks to iowaherkeye for this rare gem. Thanks as always joey! Black pour with a dusty brown head. Aroma and flavor were very similar. I got chocolate, veggies, and fish. I’d say soy sauce, but it seemed more like fish sauce. Some coffee and a bit of hops round off the flavor. Almost salty. Had a nice slick finish. Interesting but I dont know...

Apr 6, 2008 Bottle, batch 230, thanks a lot henrikb! Big honeyish and light perfumed aroma. Black, dark brown head. Heavy roasted notes, coffe and dark chocolate, lemonpeel and ginger, blackened stovetop finish - appears heavy-handed at first until all the subtle hop notes bubble to the surface and round it off nicely. Medium body, crunchy mouthfeel. Orangepeel and pine retronasal.
