Aug 25, 2009 12oz. Bottle: Aroma of roasted malts, slight burnt malts, chocolate, cream, light piney hops, and a hint of bitter coffee. Poured pitch black in color with a large, creamy, dense, slightly rocky, brown head that diminished but lasted throughout. Opaque. Lightly sparkling. Excellent lacing. Flavor is lightly sweet and light to medium bitter. Tastes of roasted malts, slight burnt malts, cream, light chocolate, light bitter coffee, slight hops, and a hint of wood. Medium body. Slick, creamy texture is a tad thin. Soft carbonation. Roasted malts, light cream, light chocolate, and slight vanilla finish is boring.

Jul 25, 2009 I had this on tap at MBGSF 09. I guess there was something wrong with the tapper, so I didn’t have to give up a token up for it. It definitely was black, with a huge brown bubbly head (probably from the bad tap). It had a really light aroma, a tiny bit of roasted coffee but minimal at that. Very light flavor, watery mouth feel and no prominent flavors. It was very mild.
