Pours a dark cola-brown color; huge, textured khaki head with solid retention and lacing. Pleasant amounts of roasted malts, cocoa, and creamy vanilla-tinged malts in the aroma; nothing harsh or burnt here. Medium mouthfeel: roasted / lightly charred malts, bitter chocolate and citrus, with a creamy, biscuity core; very pleasant texture, reasonably hopped, with a solid, layered maltiness. Very drinkable and well-composed. Medium finish: lots of breadiness, bitter chocolate and some lingering mineral hops. PilsnerPeter (2667), Flushing, New York, USA

| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Mar 6, 2008 Thanks to beastiefan2k for this one. Dark brown black beer with a thin head. Aroma is quite sweet and plummy. Dark malts, chewy and lightly fruity. Quite coffeeish and roasty, with strong herbal notes and some light molasses sweetness. Earthy and herbal on the back, but with a good balance of sweet and roast. Even a bit of tartness on the back.
