Jan 28, 2007 Best sampled near room temperature to really appreciate this beer. It reminds me of the Christmans ale without the spices. A minute whiff of hops and then toffee and licorice. The sweetness near the end is tempered by hop bitterness.

Jan 25, 2007 Looks wonderful, taste is decent. A little bit of chocolate flavor and some sweetness, but not as much as their porter thankfully. Mostly though it just comes off as very dry. Weird.

Jan 24, 2007 Dark brown with ruby highlights. Tan head almost disappears. Aroma is roasted malt. More roasted malt in the flavor, along with some chocolate and hints of dark fruit. Dry, slightly bitter finish. First time available in the Chicago area to my knowledge.

Jan 21, 2007 Very poor examle of the style IMHO. Nice color but no head and the palate is pure metallic- black metallic.

Jan 21, 2007 Bottle. Courtesy of hopdog. Thanks Steve! Opaque dark brown pour with a small tan head. Nose is toasty but subtle with caramel, sweet malts, nuttiness, light choco notes and soft bitterness. Taste is equally roasty and slightly bitter. Dark chocolate notes, caramel, sweet chewy malts and chocolate covered peanuts round this out. Body is chewy and rich with moderate carbonation a medium-full feel. Finishes with more chocolate, caramel, sweet malts, and nuttiness. Some toasty flavors throughout the end as well. Very nice stuff!

Jan 19, 2007 Good appearance. Perfect head. Good balance between roastines and bitterness. VERY dry palate which I don’t care for. Definite anchor flavor. Seems like a cousin of their delicious porter.

Jan 18, 2007 29 Apr 06 - Sweet malt and complex fruit hop aroma. Dark brown-red colour, good head and fantastic sheet lacing that stays. Light fruit malt and vegetable hoppy flavour. Stark malt and hop finish, a bit thin and a distinctive finish.
