Feb 10, 2009 Bottle from Archer Liquors. Pours quite black with a very thin dark tan head. Aromas of coffee, chocolate and mild burnt toast. Very full bodied with mild, mild carbonation. Flavor is really chocolate, followed by coffee, and the bitter seems supplied by burnt malt. Finishes really smooth, mostly dry and rather astringent. Heat is very well hidden. This is a really good IS.

Feb 8, 2009 Updated: Mar 22, 2009Whoa, this is good. Nice velvety black pour with a one-finger brown head. Roasty malts, chocolate, espresso, and a bit of creaminess. Slight cinnamon notes, I think. Some fruit under it all as well. Not overwhelmingly alcoholic. Nicely balanced and lovely to consume.

Feb 6, 2009 12oz bottle form Archer Liquors. Pours very dark brown with thin dark tan head. Aroma is mostly roasted malt and chocolate with some molassas. Flavor is nicely balance with roasted malt and chocolate with some molassas and light coffee. Mouthfeel is rich and silky. Nice to have a nicely balanced RIS that doesn’t go overboard with coffee or booze. Nice job Founders.
