May 9, 2009 I liked this one much more than Jazz88 did. I thought the roasted, coffee, and rich chocolate flavors were nicely blended, with a decent bitter touch. Reasonably rich palate. But not everyone is so taken with this porter-like Christmas beer. Works for me.

May 7, 2009 Bottle. Pours a dark brune body with a tan head. Sweet woody cherry and coco malt. Has an utterly delicious aroma, just killer! Chewy chocolate and coco body with a light coffee bitterness and a lightly smoky maple oak with licorice accents to finish. Nice lingering mineral porter like character as well. Awesome brew.

Apr 29, 2009 Batch 191 Medium dark-beige head over practically black beer. Coffee, blackcurrantleaves, valerian, caramel and burnt sugarsyrup, chicory extract. Dry, nearly dusty coffeetaste, Haagse Hopjes (kind of coffee sweets). Generally roasted and quite sweet: liquorice in the finish. Warming up, more hopflavour. Very well bodied, bit spritzy, creamy-viscous MF. A bit... predictable.

Apr 20, 2009 Pours a transparent dark mahogany with a well-lacing beige head. Aroma of sweet, smoky dark caramel malts and some lightly tart fruity notes. Body starts with a light toasty caramel sweetness and some earthy vinous woody character with a touch of berries toward the finish. Has some lingering roasty coffe flavors. A pretty good and interesting old ale.

Apr 8, 2009 This black ale poured with a decent tan head and a fruity aroma. There is an intense roasted malt flavor with some chocolate and a coffee finish. This is a fairly complex brew that is pretty earthy, yet quite enjoyable.
