Aug 22, 2008 Dark dark Brown pour with very dark tan head. Sweet chocolatey, roasty aroma. Hoppy, malty, roasty, all of these words can be used to describe this phenomenal beer. Not as dank and dark as its oak aged brother, this beer still has a resounding malt presence with echoes of chocolate and flowery hops. I am in love all over again.

Aug 22, 2008 Bottle. Black with a disappointing head but otherwise okay. Aroma is roasted coffee, dark chocolate, and hops which is good. Flavor is pretty much sweet with balancing bitterness. Quite drinkable, good moutfeel, good carbonation. This is not impressive, but I’ve better stouts tonight so I can’t say this is bad when considering the others.

Aug 15, 2008 Coffee and chocolate are very well represented here. Quite interesting taste combination, Suprisingly drinkable for the high alcohol content. Licorice type finish is present.

Aug 14, 2008 This black ale poured with a thin tan head and a rich malt aroma. There is a lot of chocolate and roasted malt flavor - this is a huge beer. Slightly carbonated and nicely hopped.

Aug 13, 2008 12 oz bottle, richly dark pour, produces a creamy camel-tan head. Smells of bitter chocolate, pine forest. Similar to the oak aged in most ways, maybe a bit more aggressive, green flavor. Super delicious, a new favorite, will attempt to homebrew clone this one.

Clear dark black color with a large, creamy, excellent lancing, fully lasting, light brown head. Aroma is moderate to heavy malty, roasted, caramel, mild and dark chocolate, moderate to heavy hoppy, grapefruit. Flavor is heavy sweet and bitter with a long duration. Body is medium to full, texture is oily - syrupy, carbonation is soft. Very nice ;O)) (070608)
