Sep 20, 2009 This bottled brew from a bottle shop poured a small sized head of foamy finely sized bubbles that were mostly diminishing and left behind a very hazy dark brown colored body and a poor lacing. The mild aroma was malty coffee and funky. The semi-thick mouth feel was tingly at the start and at the finish. The flavor contained notes of hops roasted malt dark malt and coffee. A decent one that I would consider buying again.

May 17, 2009 Pour is a dark red with no head. Aroma is some dark fruit with a bit of the coffee followed by some chocolate. Flavor is again some chocolate at first then comes some dark fruit then a small touch of the coffee. There are lots of things going on in this beer and each sip brings something different.

Jul 16, 2009 12oz - Aroma is different than I expected, leather, dank coffee, toffee and burnt malts. Pours dark ruby with a small head and great lacing. Flavor is burnt coffee with a mean aftertaste. Palate is dry and sticky. Not so good.

Aug 11, 2008 Bottle (12oz) shared with HogTownHarry & garthicus -- courtesy of HogTownHarry. Pours a very deep ruby with an average size diminishing off-white head. Aroma’s malty, a bit nutty along with some toffee and light herbal hops. Flavour’s malty with coffee, a touch of smoke, toffee and light bitter finish. Average bodied. Pretty good.

Feb 21, 2008 12oz Bottle. Heavy caramel and toffee musk. A dusting of espresso powder and cologne. Nuanced. Lightly sweet and sweeping through the browns. Pours a rather ruddy brown, with a soapy edge in tan. Flavor charges through with a big malt profile, lots of sugars and light fruit, then a flash of coffee in the pan and it doesn’t really come together all that well. Malt plays shallow and the coffee is a little washed out. Finishes on a bright hop edge. Not as stunning as it should have been.
