Mar 21, 2008 Reddish to brown in color with a decent head. Malts, espresso, and slight alcohol in the aroma. All of the contribute to the taste as well. Not too bad.

Mar 16, 2008 Dark red-brown color with a head that disappears quickly. Aroma is coffee, caramel, and hops. Surprisingly light on the palate, but really warms me up somehow. None of the flavors are very strong, but i get some hops, maybe some cherries, and a little caramel. A little coffee aftertaste. Not bad, but the flavors could be more distinct.

Mar 16, 2008 Interesting earthy aroma of caramel and hops with a light hint of coffee. Pours a beautiful dark ruby/copper color with a thin off-white head. Smooth, light body with a nice caramel maltiness at first and a strange lightly bitter coffee finish. Not everything I’d expect from a strong ale, I’d definitely take and ABA or DBA, but still good for a nice cold night.

Mar 15, 2008 Dark brown colored brew. Aroma is malty, chocolate. Bitter dark chocolate, hoppy, coffee, roasted malt and strong liquorice flavor. Overall a nice brew.

Mar 15, 2008 Draught - @ HDG. Another winner from Great Divide. I have been drinking gobs of this lately. Nice aroma some coffee and lots of hoppy tones. Pours brown and thick and looks impenetrable in the glass.
It’s deftly balanced the hops, the malts, the roasted flavors and the alcohol. This is good beer.

Mar 14, 2008 Bottle that was given to me by Ian, Harrisoni. Many thanks for this one Ian, cheers Pours dark brown with a tan head. Aroma I think is ’Choco hops’ that’s my new word for big chocolate and hoppy aroma, Loz thinks dime bar. Nice initial fizzy bitterness, some cinder toffee, then good quality cocoa which slowly melts to reveal some nice milk chocolate flurries. The alcohol shows a little towards the end and the hops are ever present but they are well integrated here in this very well balanced tasty winters treat, loved it.
