Jul 28, 2006 Bottle from santa - smokey, roasty aroma, with background chocolate malt - fairly dry, with a hard water and mineral quality that makes it seem pretty authentic - bitter espresso and a hint of creamy sweetness beneath the otherwise overall dry character - pretty decent.

Jul 2, 2006 Bottle. Poured dark brown color with a large frothy brown head that diminished slowly with good lacing. Moderate smoky roasted malt aroma. Medium body with smooth dry texture. Medium roasted bitter flavor with a light sweet finish of average duration. Solid drinkable brew.

Jun 24, 2006 A hazy deep red-brown beer with a lazing brown head. The aroma is sweet with primary notes of berries. The flavor is only slightly roasted combined with a light note of berries, and the body is thin. I find it boring, would like more power in the flavor.

Jun 21, 2006 (Bottle 35,5 cl) Beautiful, clear dark red mahogany with a small, off-white head. Aroma of hard roasted malt. Rather light-bodied with a high carbonation - too fizzy actually. Burned, malty accents with a rather light, bitter finish. Not really an impressive effort. 200606

Jun 4, 2006 Small head that fades quickly. Slightly dark beer with lots of ruby shining through around the edges. Appearance leaves something to be desired.
Not much to the smell. Slight coffee. Not much else.
Ground coffee taste. A little bit of chocolate. The finish is definitely dry as promised and expected. Some maltiness in the palate but certainly lacking.

May 19, 2006 Fairly thin pour but decently dark in appearance. Very little head. Burnt malt aroma. Chocolate and roasted malt flavor. Flavor profile is similar to Bully Porter though not near as good.

May 17, 2006 Updated: Aug 2, 200712 oz bottle thanks to duane. Dark brown pour with very little head. Aromas were very slight. Maybe some detectable chocolate. Flavor was much better. Lots of roasted malts and still just a touch of chocolate. And another touch of mocha. Some hop bittering in the middle then more roastiness on the finish. Pretty good.
