Jan 25, 2008 Very nice dark mahogany with large foamy tan head. Buttery chocolate aroma. Great roasted buttery chocolate malts with a dry coffee finish. Body is a tad watery, not very full, but easy drinking.

Jan 23, 2008 Draught. Very smoky aroma with hints of butterscotch, coffee, and caramel. Dark brown, nearly black with a patchy but elegant head. Smooth palate with a strong smoke flavor, lightly sweet. A touch thin but immensely smooth.

Jan 21, 2008 Pours a deep ruby brown into the glass with minimal head. Aroma is sweet with some fruity notes. Flavor is smooth and refreshing. Theres some taste of burnt sugar and roasted grain. The hops are present just enough to balance out the sweet profile of this beer.

Jan 20, 2008 An interesting brew, insofar as it challenges the style’s boundaries to a huge degree. Very dark, almost opaque, with ruby highlights. One-finger, tan head. Aroma of strawberries & lemon. Flavor is much less sweet than most dark bocks. In fact, sweetness plays a marginal role in the set of flavors. Sour cherry, chocolate, burned toast, and citric hops are the main flavors, with a touch of dark toffee in the first third. The acidic quality does not feel like a bock, nor does the porter-like espresso bean roast. If you like porters, you will probably particularly enjoy this.
