Jun 29, 2005 Bottle: Very roasty aroma with lots of roasted grain and malt and a strong chocolate presence. Pours a dark brown with red hilights and a somewhat quickly diminishing tan head. Very fruity up front and finishes with light chocolate, roasted grain, and roasted coffee.

May 31, 2005 A faint bit of ruby light seeps through the center of this one. The light khaki head is airy and lasts long enough to get noticed. The aroma is nicely roasty over a bit of chocolate cake. The flavor is a bit of a letdown. While smooth, it comes across a little bland after the fairly rich aroma. Still quite drinkable.

Mar 16, 2005 Bottle. Pours near black with a small cream colored head. Nose is light molasses, roasted malts, watered down coffee, and hints of caramel. Taste is pretty much the same - light bitter coffee notes, roasted malts, light caramel, hint of smokiness, and cocoa. Body is smooth and creamy with light bitterness and mild carbonation. Finish is very roasty and coffee-like. Bitter with light bittersweet chocolate notes. Good stuff!
