Aroma was cocoa powder. Taste is more chocolate, a little vanilla, some dry roast, and a dry finish. Overall lots of dark chocolate and fairly dry. Nice beer. sirpsycho (356), Murrysville, Pennsylvania, USA

Pours a solid black, touches of dark brown around the edges, small, thick chocolate brown head. Aroma is subdued touches of sweet chocolate, plum and licorice. Flavor profile is more of the same, but a little more pronounced chocolate, some roast notes and vanilla shows up at the finish. Really well done. halfonit (480), Fall River, Massachusetts, USA

| 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 5/5 | 16/20 | Nov 13, 2009 Banana split, vanilla, mocha and a huge amount of cocoa powder in both nose and taste. Great balance. Plenty of character. Dark chocolate in the finish. Impressive but far from being amazing.
