zach8270 (2051), Henrietta, New York, USA Oct 9, 2009 (bottle - 750 ml) Dark black with a fluffy tan head. Aroma is rich and malty with a rather subdued roasted flavor. Lots of roasted and chocolate malts at the beginning of the flavor with a smooth and light chocolate middle. Finishes with a nicely roasted and semi-sweet malt blast. tiggmtl (4307), Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada Oct 4, 2009 Milk chocolate in the nose with plenty of underlying fruitiness. Opaque dark brown body is topped by a low tan-brown head that recedes to a partial cover with some lacing. Raisins,roasted malts and hickory suffuse the chocolate sweetness with a lingering interplay between bitterness and sweetness in the aftertaste. Medium full body with moderate carbonation that is pleasantly effervescent. Tulip glass. Cellar temperature. Bottle purchased at Brewery Creek in Jul-09.

Reviewed on: 04-18-2009 Harsebrau (164), Kansas City, Missouri, USA Sep 29, 2009 Deep darkness with crimson swirls. The head was tan and quick to go. The aroma is very nice - chocolate malt balls. Roasted malt, chocolate, raisins and hop in the flavor. Crit (2399), New Westminster, British Columbia, Canada Sep 26, 2009 Black,small tan head.Salty molasses alcohol nose.Smoky roast profile,medium alcohol heat, medium roast bitterness. Lacks complexity and body fidel (886), Livermore, California, USA Sep 21, 2009 Poured dark brown/black, roasted malts, dark chocolate, little coffee, slight dark fruits. emacgee (1859), Chapel Hill, North Carolina, USA Sep 20, 2009 Pours a weak watery brown showing significant light on the pour and in the glass. Head is thin and tan, reluctant to form with coaxing and quick to dissipate. Nose starts with green apple skins, some mild molasses, sweet for sure, no roast, and mild chocolate. Flavor is papery, watery, has a mild grain astringency, bitter chocolate. Watery mouthfeel with some grain husk bite. Not good. douglas88 (1557), Salt Lake City, Utah, USA Sep 16, 2009 22oz bottle from the Boise Co-op. Best before 09/09/09 so it’s 6 days over- no worries. Pours a very dark brown color with a small beige head. The aroma is great; sweet burnt caramel, chocolates, rich fruity malts. The flavor is great as well; smooth and rich chocolates, sweet milky flavors, light ash and smoke. Loads of cocoa and some dark fruit. Very quaffable. This damn good. A perfect ABV for a smooth and creamy brew.
