Sep 4, 2003 Head is initially large, frothy, brown, mostly lasting.
Body is black (but not opaque).
Aroma is
moderately malty (roasted/burnt grain, caramel).
Flavor is
moderately sweet, lightly acidic, lightly bitter.
Finish is
lightly sweet, lightly acidic, moderately bitter.
Light to medium body, watery texture, fizzy carbonation.
This sample is very highly carbonated and thin of body. Not much aroma
to speak of either. Swirling to get rid of excess carbo doesn't help
much. Good flavor balance though.

Aug 15, 2003 Updated: Feb 6, 2004Pretty good brew. A little thin tasting at first, but the after taste lingers and is very satisfying. I enjoy this one and would buy again.

Jun 18, 2003 Liquid chocolate truffle!!! Milk chocolate and some slight hints of coffee. Carbonation goes away quickly to reveal a nice chocolatey drink. A bit watery, but made up for in chocalte malt goodness. Dry at the end, wonderful!

Mar 18, 2003 Clear blackened red, with a thick almondy colored head. Aroma is a little thin, but mostly roasted malts. Flavor is much the same, with hops providing only a little dryness in the finish and a light undertone to the roastiness. Not very complex, and I found it to be almost identical to their porter, but i liked that better.
