Rich and tasty...Dark cola brown body with three fingers of creamy tan head. Aroma of dark sweet chocolate and coffee. Mouthfeel very smooth, lightly oily. Rich bittersweet chocolate and coffee flavor with a note of cherry. Reminds me of TD Old Leghumper, just not quite as good by a hair. marchcow (664), Coralville, Iowa, USA

| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Sep 11, 2006 Yet another bottle from Sean, thanks. Heres a shock, its black in color. Smell is plenty of chocolate and coffee, with a little bit of toffee and caramel. Taste is sweet, rich, and perhaps a little too sweet. Reminds me alot of an english porter which is not really my style. I prefer the much more bold american style porters, but this one is drinkable and certainly something I might not mind having a few more bottles of, but I wouldnt go out of my way.

Alomost vinous, roasted malt aroma. Medium body with dark, roasted malty accents. Almost a bit coffeeish without ever being overly burned or bitter. 290806 illinismitty (1801), Nashville, Tennessee, USA

Clean aroma of chocolate milk and dark roast. Flavor of coffee,dark roasted malt, molasses, and a hint of smoke. Very bitter and burnt malt finish, a little too much for my personal taste. madsberg (5063), Søborg, Denmark

| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Sep 2, 2006 A pitch brown beer with a fast disappearing brown head. The aroma is sweet with strong notes of both chocolate and caramel, but also hints of the alcohol showing off. The flavor is sweet malty combined with notes of stored fruits, and light notes of roasted malt and alcohol.
