Jul 15, 2007 On tap: The aroma is a combination of chocolate, roasted coffee, honey, faint smoke, and black licorice. It’s a dark brown with no transparency and a moderate beige head. The flavor starts with some faint cocoa and finishes with roasted coffee, honey, and the faintest touch of black licorice. Thin but soft mouthfeel.

Apr 1, 2005 Tap: Dark brown/chocolate with small head and some lacing. Scent of fruits and clove, burnt malts and banana. Amazingly sweet for such a dark beer, goes down smooth.

Jan 3, 2007 Draft... Way dark, opaque, burnt orange ale with a large, brown head. Subtle aromas of vanilla and cocoa. Just a touch of acetaldehyde in the flavor, but mostly chocolaty and mildly bitter. Full-bodied and ultra-silky with barely noticeable carbonation. Bitter, chocolaty finish... dries out.

May 15, 2004 This draft brew from the brewery poured a medium sized head of fine to large sized mostly lasting brown colored bubbles that left behind a fair lacing. The body was opaque and dark ruby red brown colored with no hop of seeing any carbonation in it. The aroma was nice with malt and molasses notes. The palate was tingly biting and malty. The flavor was vinuous with notes of malt and molasses.

Dec 2, 2005 Appears a dark brown/black with a tan head that quickly fades and leaves tiny spotty lacing around the glass.
Smell is of ringwood butterscotch with some chocolate malt and caramel.
Taste is sweet honey and chocolate with caramel malt.
Mouthfeel is sweet, medium/full bodied with a caramel sweetness that overtakes the brew.

May 19, 2008 Aroma is sugary sweet with roasted malt and caramel notes. Black hue with a good looking tan head. Flavor has notes of roasted coffee, chocolate but also an off metal taste. Medium to full bodied and soft. A bit of a cloying feel. Almost there but what happens near the finish kills it.
