Dec 24, 2008 Dark brown/black pour. Medium to full bodied. Smells of coffee and dark chocolate, roasted malts. Tastes of the same with a sweet oat finish, slightly bitter but not overly. Great for what it is. I am really not big on the style but the beer is well made.

Dec 19, 2008 I am not a big fan of things called "Barney"-anything after having disturbing images seared into my head thanks to a goofy, ambiguously gay purple dinosaur...and the cops, who people also call "Barney" sometimes. This Barney was a pleasant surprise, however. Roasted malts, coffee/chocolate flavors, oaty creaminess. Full mouthfeel. I approve of this Barney, but strongly disapprove of the others.

Dec 14, 2008 Deep, dark brown with moderately full body, too much carbonation and no personality whatsoever.

Dec 9, 2008 Gorgeous nose. True oatmeal, sugar cane, white chocolate and fresh malt. Black as night with a brown head. Looks inviting! Curious; hits the mouth with a distinct taste of black olives..but its not unpleasent! Some sourness further in and the olives hang around and don’t give any room for oatmeal. The malt does get a say in the background, and its nice roast. Still, I was expecting more of a oatmeal profile....especially after the promising aroma.

Dec 2, 2008 Pours dark ebony into an English pint. Long lasting mocha head leaves spot lacing as it recedes to coat surface. Dusty cocoa aromas. Sour cherry and musk from front to back. Lasting chocolate finish.
