Feb 27, 2009 Draught at the Downtown location. Dark brown with light lacing. Roasted malt and cocoa powder aroma. French roast coffee, dark chocolate, and light fruity flavors. Finishes dry with a roasted, but not astringent bitter chocolate. Medium-light bodied. Big props for not being sticky and sweet like I figured it might be after having their triple. A pretty nice, dry, dark chocolate ale with great drinkability. Belgian porter?

Jun 26, 2007 Am I supposed to know that style this is? The color is a muddy brown that I imagine I would get if I mashed some wheat bread into a glass of water. The nose is faint cocoa butter and a composition of spices that are pretty indistinguishable... tastes of light bakers chocolate up front then more of a cocoa butter over the middle. Mildly prickling the tongue, finishing empty and almost flavorless. Weird beer, I don’t know if they used chocolate malts in this or some form of actual chocolate.
