Mar 4, 2009 Bottle. Wow, this looks great. Deep brown, almost black with a creamy off white head leaving great lacing all over the glass. There is lots of coffee in the aroma, some caramel and toffee, cherry: all really inviting. The mouthfeel is full and slick on the tongue. I taste medium roast coffee beans, caramel, vanilla, subtle grassy hopiness in the background, then some dry, dark chocolate, high in cocoa.

Mar 1, 2009 Tap at Earth. Pours a deep brown with amber notes and a medium foamy light tan head that laced. Aroma of rich chocolate notes, cappucino, roasted malt, nuts and toffee. Great aroma! Flavor of the same dark chocolatey hot fudge, chocolate ice cream, roasted malt, nuts, hints of vanilla and caramel.

Feb 28, 2009 Pours black with tan head. Light aroma of cocoa and some smoke. Smooth, well balanced beer with nothing in particular standing out. Little smoke, chocolate, and light hops balance. Decent brew.

Feb 23, 2009 Pours a dark, dark amber-black with a brown head. Aroma of molasses, sweet and delicious, like smoke notes and black bean too. Dark gingersnap cookie, light ashy hops, nice dark toffee aftertaste. Perilously drinkable! Light carbonation, very smooth body. So drinkable, nicely balanced!

Feb 21, 2009 On tap at Deep Ellum, body is black with a tall tan head. Smells of charcoal dust and smoke with notes of bitter cocoa powder. Really dry and light on the palate with almost no alcohol presence. Flavors or smoke and tobacco dominate with a good strong dry malty notes lurking in the background. Really balance flavors without too many bells and whistles. Quite nice.

Feb 19, 2009 0,33l bottle. Black/very dark brown. Malts and tobacco in the nose. Liquorice and roasted malts in the flavor. Not bad at all.
