Mar 2, 2009 Draught. At Cole’s, Buffalo NY. Deep clear ruby with a smallish lasting creamy tan head. Deep sweet roast aroma, raisin, sweet coffee - definitely lactic - with decent dry herbal bitterness. The taste followed in all respects, strong alcohol, even sweeter than I expected, the dry herbal bitterness lingers a long time. Light body, sticky mouthfeel, sharply carbonated and the alcohol is strong enough to make it seem pretty dry. Hits all the right notes, could have a bit more body.

Mar 1, 2009 Tap at EBF. Pours a nice deep dark brown almost black with a nice lasting off beige head. Lots of chocolate and toffee in the flavor, spicy and earthy with hints of leather and licorice with a drying herbal crackery hint. More chocolate malts in the flavor- ok herbal and tea-like hops solightly earthy with anise spice and a toffee and slightly sweet malt backbone - drying dark bittersweet chocolate in the end. Pretty good but nothing really unique or great here.

Feb 16, 2009 Bottle. Pours a deep midnight black with a medium sized tan head that deflates quickly. Piles of roast, dark stone fruit, smoke, chocolate, coffee, and a few light esters. Body is medium thick, helped out by the fine carbonation. Finishes with bitter cocoa, and almost a touch of smoke.
