Very dark brown color. Malty and chocolate nose. I thought it tasted a bit like a watered down porter. Had a distintive coffee finish. Overall - decent.

Oct 7, 2008 12 oz bottle and draught all over ATL. Pours a deep dark semi-opaque ebony brown with moderate tannish crow that has semi-moderate retention. Aroma is not very robust for a robust-looking beer. It is reminiscent of roasted and chocolate malt, with some nuttiness, but always with a small hint of oxidation. Flavour is also thin with nuts, chocolate malt, roasted malt, and a little bit of hop bitterness in the middle of the taste that’s brought out by the spritely carbonation, but finishes a little bitter with some grassy aromas. The body is also surprisingly thin. I didn’t find this beer to be very palatable or drinkable to my liking. I see how it could be drinkable to many but I need something that’s a little more aggressive or more strongly balanced with heartier malts.
