Jet black, admits no light. medium tan head, disappears quickly, leaves nice lacing. Aroma of cafe au lait with burnt edges. Taste begins with chocolate, then progresses to roasted coffee beans, then finally to burnt espresso. Very nice indeed. Laid down 6 bottles tonight, hopefully I can wait a year.

Dec 6, 2009 Poured from a 12 oz’er into a plastic Dixie cup. Not ideal, but these things happen. Nice tan head. Roasted malts dominate the aroma. Flavor is leather, raisins, dark and bitter chocolate. Nice bitter finish. Very smooth, heavy mouthfeel. A great one.

Nov 30, 2009 Dark brown with medium head. Like a silky chocolate malt. Light sweet roast and mild bitterness. A little soy. Good round body, not too thin and still very drinkable.

Nov 28, 2009 Bottle, shared with 3 friends after a great Turkey dinner. Big chocolate aroma with alot of roasted scents on the nose. Great silky texture. I wish Bells had distribution here in So Cal, I have enjoyed everything I have tasted from them.

Nov 26, 2009 [12oz bottle] Dark thick and rich looking. Viscous with good carbonation which leaves a good bit of lacing on the glass. Strong roasted barley, a bit of smoke and bitter chocolate aroma. Some sweetness but well balanced and not overbearing and a bitter finish. Creamy and smooth but not as heavy on the palette as I would have thought. A decent beer but not overly complex.
