Dec 19, 2006 Black pour, thin cream head. Aroma is chocolate and coffee roast. Flavor is full and rich, roasty chocolate. Note sure where the rye is, but I’m also not sure this beer really needs anything more. Delicious.

Dec 17, 2006 12 oz bottle. Just shy of black with a big tan head. Big malty nose, roasty chocolate and coffee, rather hoppy. Roasty flavors, coffee and mild chocolate. Mildly bitter finish. Very good.

Dec 14, 2006 Very big head on black. Raw chewy hop aroma. Flavour is like an inspired Black and Tan. (Guinness and Hophead). Roast chocolate finish. Every time you figure it out the beer changes and surprises you. Very cool!

Dec 11, 2006 Bottle courtesy of Tpaliga: Poured a medium black color ale with a medium foamy head with average retention. Aroma of hops is dominant with some traces of malt being noticeable. Taste consists of predominantly citrus hops with a bitter finish and some light roasted malt. Body is a bit thin IMO and rye is very hard to detect. I would have appreciated a bit more complexity and less reliance on hops personally.

Nov 27, 2006 Updated: Jun 20, 2007Black color. Nice mix of hop and rye bitter/sour with roasted malt flavor. Medium body and low sweetness make this the BEST dark beer that I’ve tried. IMO, this is the perfect blend of hops and roasted malt!

Nov 5, 2006 Black, as advertised, with a thick tan head. Great rich malt aroma, smells of hops, chocolate, coffee and roasted malt. Medium to heavy body, with a sharp hop bitter. Reminds me of a good porter, despite the classification. A bit bitter in the finish.
