Appearance: Pours an opaque black body with a lush, dense, inch-high dark tan head.
Smell: Roasted malt aroma with full notes of fire-scorched grains reminiscient of French Roast coffee.
Taste: Creamy dark chocolate and rich mocha with an everso subtle sweetness. Very faroff hint of oven-roasted fruit. Burnt grain flavor with plenty roasty bitterness. The bitterness eases up somewhat for a smooth, roasty finish.
Mouthfeel: Medium-full body. Low carbonation. Incredibly creamy mouthfeel.
Drinkability: Tasty, sure, but it’s that smooth, creamy mouthfeel that really sells me!

Jan 26, 2008 Alcohol and char aroma with lots of fruit and chocolate. Medium weight. Nicely balanced - does’t go too bitter or roasty. Didn’t get to write too many notes on this one - was having dinner with the boss - but this was one of the best beers that I’ve ever had. DO NOT start out with this beer, if you’re having more than one -- it makes otherwise decent brews pale in comparison.

solid black, dense chocolate head, drippy lace,
dry dark chocolate aroma,
creamy velvet body,
rich dark chocolate and roasted flavor, lots of coffee character, bitterness is a lot more subdued than expected considering the high levels of dark malts, touch of fruity character helps to balance the roasted,
