Jan 4, 2007 From bottle. Dark red-brown color that left a small creamy head and little lacing. Nose was strong roasted malts, with some hops and spices. Mouthfeel is rich and almost sticky. Flavor is of malts, chocolate, fruity, and mostly coffee. Finish a bit bitter. Overall a decent, but not outstanding brown.

Dec 4, 2006 Deep malty aroma with some hop. Decent brown color and a quickly disappearing head. Starts with carbonation and some coffee/chocolate. Some sort of nutty aspect midway, and it smooths out impressively towards the finish. The end seems to be light coffee with noticeable hop. Subsequent sips seem to have a bit of light pluminess. Quite good.
