Bottle. Pours black with a pretty dark tan head. Aroma of roasted and sweet malt. Flavor is very sweet, lots of sweet malt along with some bitter chocolate. Smooth palate. This was just ok for me, a little too sweet.

Nov 28, 2008 Bottle from Martin’s in Mt. Laurel, NJ. Midnight black pour with faint ruby highlights. Aroma of roasted coffee, bittersweet chocolate and a touch of sweet malt. Aroma carries through to the flavors with a solid foundation of roasted coffee along with toffee, dried cherries, smoke and vanilla. Smooth texture and a long finish that has a hint of pepper at the very end.

Nov 26, 2008 Bottle. Great aromas of chocolate, roasted chocolate and oats. Rich black color with mahogany head. Good rich chocolate flavors. Nice oats flavors too. Some roasted/burnt coffee. Hops flavors very covered but provide a nice slight bitterness., also some orange peel. Thick creamy mouth feel very warm in the stomach. Really nice beer.
