Mar 4, 2009 22oz bottle courtesy of CaptainCougar. Black with a wispy head. Tart wine barrel and dark chocolate aroma. Mainly dark chocolate flavors, a bit dusty, some light vinous character and dry wood. Medium-light in body with crispy carbonation. I think the barrels are thinning it out a bit. Though a little lacking in body, the flavors were a cool combo and the package came out quite drinkable.

Feb 27, 2009 Bottle from Liquid Solutions. Dark brown/black pour with a decent tan head. Aromas of toasted (not burnt) malt with chocolate and darkish fruit. A little woody astringecy. Nice feel. Full bodied with creamy carbonation. Black Albert it’s not, but the flavors are not dissimilar. Finishes lightly sweet, but off-set by toast and light hop. It’s one of the better dark ales in America today. Top 50, say. Betcha.

Feb 21, 2009 Almost opaque dark red-brown color with a sparse tan head. Dark chocolate and sour cherries on the aroma. Burnt coffee, and dark chocolate on the taste. Semi-sweet with a lingering burnt finish. Good brew. The label is great, however not as good as Coraline.
