Jul 1, 2008 Pitch black pour with a good tan mocha head. Aroma is luscious with a myriad of smells of cocoa, alcohol, and malt. Of course a velvet perfect rich mouthfeel. Flavors of molasses,chocolate, malt, and perfect bitter hops on the back end. a bit dry on the finish. Fantastic brew!

Jul 1, 2008 Pours with a large, foamy, light brown head, very dark brown body. Aroma of plums, rum soaked raisins, chocolate, and cocoa powder. Extremely mouth coating feeling...very, very syrupy. Very sweet and chocolatey up front with some sticky toffee too. A bit of bitter coffee rounds out the finish. Amazingly good desert drink (goes well with vanilla ice cream, and tastes amazing as a float). As a side note, I am going to go buy a bottle tomorrow and age it for about 4.5 years, to make a killer winter desert treat.

Jun 28, 2008 Poured brown with a tan head. The flavor was fairly roasty with nice chocolate notes. The flavor was smooth with the alcohol mostly hidden other than the warmth. Nice roasted aroma. Medium body.
