Jun 8, 2006 This pours about as dark a brown as you can have without being black. Small light brown head. Nice roasted smell, barley and coffee, with an overlaying of floral hops. Dark, roasted malts with coffee, nuts, and a suggestion of chocolate are well blended with an herbal hops taste. Solidly dry, bitter finish. Nice. <font size=-4><a href=http://www.ratebeer.com/Places/ShowPlace.asp? Plainfield, IL<font size=-1>

Jun 2, 2006 In the glass right now, from bottle.
Lovely black, brown head.
Smell: Coffee. Taste: strong hop, licorids, malts, a little coffee. Long bitter hoppy finish. More hoppy than expected, but not too much.

May 24, 2006 12 oz bottle poured an opaque black with an average sized light brown head. Nice lacing. The first aroma to come to me was heavy ashtray - not an altogether pleasing smell which may have posioned the rest of the beer for me. Notes of dark roast coffee, sweet chocolate, soy sauce, straw, and some charred something or other. Moderately bitter and salty with some chocolate and metal flavors. Soft carbonation, medium body, medium chalky finish. I was really expecting better from this one.

May 17, 2006 Black with a medium lasting off-white head. Malt rich toasted aroma with some wood and smoke. Flavour is initially a battle between hops and roast barley sourness, with some great coffee notes and wood to follow. Good mouthfeel and long lasting aftertaste. Nice to see an American microbrew where "big" isn’t just in the alcohol percentage :)
