KajII (50), Macon, North Carolina, USA Jul 20, 2009 Bottle. Poured a rich dark brown with a light tan foamy head which diminished quickly but stayed slightly throughout. The aroma was that of roasted molasses and chococolate malts. The mouthfeel was creamy and smooth with a mild carbonation. It tasted sweet and slightly bitter and finisheed nicely with the flavor of the chocolate malts lingering slighty. Overall a great brew. hirigalzkar (550), Stockholm, Sweden Jul 18, 2009 Bottle. Pours red-brown with a cramy white head. Smells raisin and chocolate. Creamy taste of vanilla, dark chocolate and coffee. Chocolate in aftertaste. Small fruitiness. This was almost a little bit too enjoyable... mike67 (74), , New Jersey, USA Jul 17, 2009 Bottle. Pours dark brown with a small tan head.

An intense and very complex beer. Splendid! concretebeer (7), Washington, USA does not count Jul 16, 2009 Pours dark brown. Complex and interesting taste, but palate ends too sweet. Ends up tasting more like an extreme nut brown. monkeychugg55 (214), Joliet, Illinois, USA Jul 16, 2009 Updated: Oct 8, 2009Pours a dark chocolate brown with a small tan head that doesn’t last very long.
