May 15, 2008 On tap at Trappeze. Dark brown, almost black, pour with a big offwhite head. Aroma is a little weak but there’s some roasted malt and chocolate. Taste is very nicely malted, with chocolate, coffee, and some light smoke. Mouth is very carbonated, which gives this a nice balance.

May 14, 2008 On tap at Pizza Port Carlsbad, tried alongside a fresh pint of Black Lie. Black center with a bit of fizz, not much head. Maroon edges, aroma of smoke and ashy notes. Lots of carbonation, simple flavor of roasted chocolate, grains and light licorice; minimal complexity. Ends very dry and it is medium bodied.

May 10, 2008 A very dark cola brown with a light khaki head. Heavy carbonation. Perhaps a little too much. Fairly dry chocolate, a little anise note in the back. I The mouthfeel remains a little foamy even when the head recedes because of the high carbonation.

May 9, 2008 Off taps Capital Ale House 4/1/08
Almost no detectable aroma other than a bit of roasty malt. Sligh sourness almost like a bit of belgian yeastyness to start.
Roast malts with some raisin and enough hop bitterness to ballance. Finish is clean with no astringency. Alchohol is difficult to detect. Mouthfeel is fairly light. This beer is a lot lighter and more drinkable than ABV and color might suggest. Strange almost sour (but not unpleasant) start makes for interesting and enjoyable beer.

May 8, 2008 draft. woah this is an interesting brew. pours black with a one finger brown head. aroma screams out belgian, despite the stout like appearance. fruity yeast flavors - cherry, banana. upon taste, the roasted malts lend some good flavors. has a strong, dry smokey finish. really interesting and bold flavors. i thought the fruit yeast and malt actually made an interesting pair, but the smokey taste wore on me toward the end of the glass. definitely worth a try, but i don’t know if i’d order another anytime soon.

May 7, 2008 Bottle. One of the best belgian style stouts i’ve had. Chocolate, roastiness, yeast, light fruit. Nicely done for the style.
