Sep 28, 2008 Bottle, courtesy of my sister. Poured a very dark brown/black with a big, compact brown head. Aroma of chocolate, vanilla, brown sugar; more subtle hints of coffee, roasted malt, and fruit/cherries. Really smooth and solid flavor. Hinds the alcohol masterfully. Very nice and soft palate. Taste of chocolate (a little bit bitter chocolate), vanilla/sugar, and wood/earth. Some caramel and fruit. Just a really enjoyable beer.

Sep 26, 2008 Getting notebook online. Bottle. Wow! A very happy anniversary. Pours a chocolate black. Carmel and malts on the nose. Flavors very intense and good. Great roasted malt flavors. Chocolate flavors add a lot and hops put round out the party nicely. Great beer.

Sep 25, 2008 Dark Brown with a thick, foamy yellowish-tan head. Aroma is sugary and syrupy, some sweet fruit in there, vanilla, and a touch of caramel. Flavor is strong chocolate and caramel, roasted malt, fruit, wood in the aftertaste. Thick and a little sticky and salty, it’s also a little boozy thanks to an obvious alcohol. Definitely not for drinking on hot, summer days.

Sep 21, 2008 Bottle: Dark brown pour with a smaller tan head. Aroma is sweet, full of molasses and brown sugar. Still plenty of roastiness. Tastes of coffee, roast, and dark fruit. Very rich and creamy. The 10% stood out just a tiny bit. Very nice. Thanks BuckDich.

Sep 12, 2008 Bottle from PNW. Thick dark ale with a light but lasting brown creamy head. Strong dark malty aroma; thick like a woolen coat. Chocolate with hints of molasses. Starts out like chocolate syrup, thins out as alcohol kicks in. Smooth chocolate liqueur beer. Bitter chocolate, tasty, alcohol settles down after that first sip.
