Dec 24, 2007 Pours an opaque black with a delicious chocolate head that is sticky and laces steadily. Smells of roasted coffee beans, ground coffee beans and minimal malt and caramel. Finishes with a bite of hops. Medium in the mouth with some nice carbonation. Drinkability is decent, it’s not a sipper but it’s not a session beer. Overall a tasty offering.

Dec 23, 2007 11-11-07 bottle shared with lb4lb (thanks Miketd!!)
Black color with average head. Roasted malt aroma. Smooth - but a bit thin. Not as flavorful or creamy as I wanted - but decent roasted flavor and nice aroma.

Dec 18, 2007 Notes from a long night say, "A black ass beer with a nice tan head." Smells of roast and some sweet chocolate and maple. Flavor is the same pleasant roast, chocolate, and a touch of maple. Finishes dry and roasty. A nice nightcap.

Dec 17, 2007 Thanks to whoever brought this! Poured deep brown with about ½” of creamy beige head sticking around.. lots of apparent carbonation. The aroma picked up lightly-toasted, semi-sweet chocolates with a touch of coffee and some airy piney hoppage.. a building infection was apparent, giving off building vinegary sourness as it warmed up. The flavor was marred to a greater degree by the infection, with lactose and vinegary off notes apparent in every facet of the drink.. caramel and semi-sweet chocolate at the core, and there wasn’t a lot of hop presence to note. Very highly carbonated (perhaps due to the infection).. nice feel at first, but the sourness threw it off when it kicked in.
