Dec 13, 2009 (12 ounce bottle - pint glass) Little head and lace. Roasted malt taste that gives it a coffee chocolate toffeish tounge. But it is balanced with a light hoppy side. Also has notes of brown sugar and cinnamon. Thick to medium bodied.

Dec 7, 2009 A mahogany pour with medium tan head. The aroma is full of sweet chocolate malt and hops. The taste begins sweet with chocolate and molasses then slowly fades to a dry bitter finish with a slight coffee aftertaste. This beer is full of different flavor that meld together beautifully.

Dec 6, 2009 I must say that this is a very interesting beer. Dark in the glass with very little head. The alcohol can be smelled along with a faint fruity character. The first thing that one notices is the coffee flavor, but it is soon overwhelmed with what I believe to be an overly aggressive carbonation. This quickly subsides and one is left with a nice hoppy finish. At the end of the day, I would recommend this and will be buying more.

Dec 5, 2009 Nice combination of roasted malt flavors with a fair amount of hoppiness as well. Really well made stuff.

Nov 29, 2009 Very good balance in this beer. The great thing is that the sweetness balances with the bitterness of the hops. This beer is great if you feel like a brown but don’t want too much sweet, or if you want an IPA but don’t want too much bite. Flavors of brown sugar, dried fruits, and sweet barley. One of my new favorites.

Nov 29, 2009 Pours thick and dark. Flavors of coffee and sweet grapes. A nice helping of hops balances out this thick malt. An amazing combination of two of my favorite styles

Nov 28, 2009 poured out dark brown with a nice frothy finger thick head that was a dark beige. the body is a super dark brown with little light penetration. the aromas are chocolate, dried grapes, some toffee and caramel. it is also kind of sweet and a slight bitterness in the nose. it is medium bodied and very malty with a really nice bitter finish. it is a little grainy across the tongue but is very smooth throughout. i taste slight sweetened coffee, candi sugar, roasted malts, clove and also some slight banana. it is a little bitter from the hops, and is primarily sweet all the way through. it finishes creamy and has a really nice soft aftertaste that hangs out with you for a little while. pretty enjoyable beer through out the whole tasting.
