Sep 6, 2009 Fleeting aroma of chocolate and earthy roast. Silky smooth on the palate - melted milk and dark chocolate with a hint of citrus hop.

Sep 5, 2009 On tap for growler fills at Half-Time. Pours a clear brown to black with some crimson highlights and a medium to large tanned beige head. Sweet caramel aromas and not much else. Little bit thin. Roast flavors and slightly astringent. Finishes up with a bit of roast bitterness. Unimpressive.

Aug 30, 2009 A sim rate (bottle at magicdave’s): aroma has a roasty, milk chocolate and licquorice aroma that’s quite nice. Tart, bitter, dark chocolate flavour that’s just not quite full enough to impress. Quite a good beer but just not great.

Aug 28, 2009 Sample glass from the brewery. Dark as night in the glass with deep amber reflections. Nose of earthy oatmeal and hints of hops. Flavor held the same earthy oatmeal accompanied by a sweetness that i couldn’t pinpoint.

Aug 26, 2009 ( 22oz bottle thanks to ballewblake) Pours black with brown edges, light brown head and nice bubbles. Nose is unleavened bread, yeast, oats, graham crackers and chocolate. Taste is slightly watery, chocolatey. Mouthfeel is viscous and the carbonation is quite velvety.
