Sep 23, 2009 Marzipan and fig aroma with soy sauce undertones. Dark brown with a medium tan head. Sweet at first but considerably drier at midpalate ending almost tart. Thin mouthfeel. Charred oak, licorice, and peat flavors. Nice creativity and very drinkable. Not a stellar beer, but I enjoyed it quite well.

Jan 20, 2009 From a bottle at the Charlotte airport. Good looking black pour with a little tan creamy head which fades insantly. Sweet almond aroma is a tad off. Volatile at times. Wierd almond nutty flavor reminds me breifly of amaretto. Stouty fer sure but that almond flavor is overiding and hides the godd stoutiness that’s in there. OK for a one timer but will not buy again. Finish is again overiding imitation somewhat almonds.

Nov 21, 2008 Bottle thanks to SaCkErZ9 at BA. Black with dark brown at the edges and a thin light tan head that settles quickly. Aroma is roasty malt, lots of chocolate and chocolate milk, vanilla, and toasted almonds. Light body and the taste is simpler than the aroma. Mostly light roasted malts and light chocolate than strong almond finish.

Oct 20, 2008 Thanks to rogueone for the bottle (by way of ucusty). The beer pours nearly black with a medium brown head that recedes steadily. Rings of lacing on the glass. Lots of almond in the nose along with a bit of hazelnut and coffee. Medium-bodied with flavors of almond, toasted malt and cocoa. The finish is roasty and nutty with notes of almond and chocolate, and a mild amaretto coffee aftertaste. Overall the beer tastes good and would be top shelf if it had some more body.

Aug 31, 2008 12 oz bottle from elmatador00. Black with a thin beige head. Nice almond and choco-coffee nose, vanilla and roasty malt. Silky body, albeit a tad thin. Flavor follows the nose, a pretty pleasant beer.

Aug 7, 2008 Bottle; pours a thick and dark brown with an average brown head. Surprisingly good aroma; chocolate, caramel, vanilla and almonds/toffee. Pretty easy drinking beer. Roasted malt, semi-sweet chocolate, caramel and vanilla. Flavor could have been a bit fuller and more pronounced, but I was surprised by the quality of this.
