Jun 14, 2009 Bottle sampled at Noog Four-0 5/31/08: Pours a barely transparent dark mahogany with a spotty-lacing light tan head. Aroma of fresh, dry grainy rye and malt with a touch of roasted malt. Body starts semi-sweet grainy and roasty before a thinner drier bittersweet finish with some lingering dark chocolate and rye. An interesting brew.

Mar 21, 2009 Bottle courtesy of dkachur – thanks Dan! Pours dark reddish brown with a one finger tan head. The nose is light roast and cocoa. The taste is faint chocolate, light roasted malt and mild coffee. Medium bodied. Reminds me more of a Schwarzbier.

Feb 7, 2009 The aroma fits the style pretty good but it has some metallic and smokey elements that go over the top for me. The toastiness is there as is coffee but still it’s not good enough for me. The appearance is nice with an average head and deep dark brown color. The flavor is like the aroma. The palate is OK but too thin for me. Overall a drinkable stout that is somewhat dry.

Jan 24, 2009 pours nice opaque with a cinnamon color head, yet the mash is a bit too sour and the dark flavors of a stout just aren’t there either. toasted at the end but with no character.

black with ruby edges, big dense tan head, dry roasted malt aroma with a slight hint of styleistic tartness, creamy body with a bit of oily character, nice mellow roasted flavor, light bitterness in the finish, the tartness is present in the flavor to add a bit of complexity,
