Nice roasted beer. The roasted flavor really comes through. Dark color. Earthy mouthfeel.

Dec 30, 2009 12oz bottle pours deep amber with ten second tan head. The aroma has roasted to burnt malt notes along with a hint of band-aid like earthiness. The taste is interesting with a mix of roasted malts turning more burnt and then becoming very Black Patent like with the odd smoke note or two around the edges. I also get a pleasing yet brief dash of caramel candy kettle caramelization and a bit of caramel malts into the finish.

Dec 21, 2009 Dark black pour, but translucent enough to see through. Nice roasty nose. The flavors are likewise dark and roasted, dark barley malt and touch of smoke. Rather thin=bodied, just this side of watered-down. Decent and very repeatable, but nothing remarkable in any memorable way.

Dec 17, 2009 A nice roasty smell. Quick-dissipating head. The flavor is roasty, a bit smokey and somewhat thick. A quite smoky finish. A decent beer, not great.

Dec 14, 2009 Bottle in Brooklyn. Dark body with slight head. Toasty, malty nose. Taste too of caramel and malts. Some hops as well. Nice balance. Spicy in the finish.

Dec 7, 2009 Pours dark brown, fizzy, cola-looking - fairly smoky, almost meaty in the nose at first, but this makes room for some notes of chocolate, charred sugar, woody, campfire smells - moderate carbonation, medium body - a touch astringent up front, with some noble hop bitterness - some chocolate comes out from underneath that - roast, caramelized sugar sweetness - the smoke is there, but not as much as it is in the nose, which is a little disappointing - lingering bittersweet chocolate - decent.
