Aug 10, 2009 Appearance: Pours a midnight brown with a tight knit gathering of tan foam at the top.
Aroma: The inside of a plastic milk jug and some roast.
Taste: Burnt malts, dark chocolate, dark chocolate covered dark fruit right off the bat. A small touch of black coffee that finishes with a spicy hop and burnt malt mixture. Also some chared woody notes in there as well.
Mouthfeel: A bit thin for my liking. Has a slightly silky texture, but still leaning towards watery.
Overall: Full flavored, tasty, but too thin for me.

Jul 22, 2009 Bottle. Pours a beautiful dark, dark, dark brown (well... basically, black) with a nice 1/2 inch of beautiful foamy head that settles to a thin film after about a minute. Smells of roasted malts chocolate, with a little bit of coffee and perhaps vanilla. A beautiful looking and smelling beer! Taste is similar to aroma, with a definite taste of alcohol that you can feel warm your throat on the way down.
This beer is great!
