Dec 22, 2004 Doug’s, Christmas 2004. Dark brown colour, nice tan head. Sour coffee aroma. The taste is nice than the smell - reminded me of a sour old style porter with slight coffee notes. A little watery. Not bad.

Dec 18, 2004 Very dark, tan head. Very smoky, lots of malt, kind of earthy. Dry finish. Medium body, held up well all things considered, but you can tell it still suffered a bit fromt he time out of the keg. Still quite good.

Dec 16, 2004 Very dark brown, somewhat black, w/ light brown foam. Toasty, slightly smoky aroma of dark chocolate & coffee w/ an earthy, meatiness. Full-bodied, slightly chewy feel. Flavour shows roastiness, dark chocolate, coffee (espresso) w/ a very mild, appetizing sourness.

Dec 13, 2004 Appearance from likely generous American at Doug Shoemaker Party. Very sweet with chocolate malts and who knows what to sweeten the smoke, but also bitterness at the finish.

Dec 12, 2004 Growler at DougShoemaker’s. Considering that this spent considerable time out of the keg this was a pretty decent beer. Deep black color with a light brown head. Coffee aromas. Slightly bitter. Light to medium bodied. Flavors were coffee and roasted malt.
