Sep 19, 2005 Sampled at the Ohio Labor Day gathering, provided by me via trade with OldGrowth. Deep red-brown body, very thin light cream head. Coffee, light chocolate, and DMS/butterscotch aroma. My notes for the flavor are somewhat unintelligible, but coffee and roasted malts dominated the palate with slight hints of DMS that thankfully didn’t overwhelm the beer. Medium-bodied, roasty, and fairly simple, yet quaffable and tasty. I can barely read my numbers, but I think I’ve transcribed them reasonably well...

Sep 9, 2005 Better taste than nose: smealls like stale coffee on the breath of an old drunk--do I get that from the job or the days at the sorority house?? Anyway pours nice with little head, chocolate coffee taste, better with warming.

Jul 16, 2005 Yum! Black. Very sweet, yet mild coffee flavor that was super smooth and rather light. I was expecting a much heavier beer.

Jul 8, 2005 22 ouncer. i detect a hint of tang on this beer in both aroma and flavor. It could be prunish or it could be raisony. I’d better have another one just to make sure! Very creamy and very good otherwise. I would buy this beer again.
