Dec 14, 2007 Draft at Beneluxx in Philly. Pours dark brown with a brown head. Medium bodied, but with a slight watery texture. Aroma of peat, chocolate, and wet grains. Flavor of caramel, chocolate powder, bread, and tobacco with some green apple mid palate. Finish has a slight sourness and astringency, with some dryness as well.

Dec 13, 2007 If I had tasted this before and if I were a blond, which I’m not, I immediately would lie down under my car and try to empty the oil from the engine. I simply cannot understand, that this isn’t a stout - so perhaps I AM a blond????
It’s a black beer with a brown hue and almost no head. Both the aroma and the flavour have notes of chocolate, roasted malt and licorice. he mouthfeel is quite oily and there is a nice, just right sweetness - yummi!!!

Dec 11, 2007 11. 2 oz bottle. Nearly opaque dark brown with orange/brown highlights and a large tan head that offers up some nice lace. Dark caramel, molasses, and chocolate aroma with some hints of vanilla. Smooth, medium body with very light carbonation add up to a satisfying mouthfeel. Well balanced with sweet malt flavors up front and a soft bitterness that follows to an even, pleasing finish.

Dec 1, 2007 This brew poured a dark brown with medium head. A very thick beer, it’s almost a mix between styles of porter and stout, only very rich and malty smooth. There were tastes of licorice and slight nuttiness. Very, very excellent beer, but expensive! $4 for a 12oz bottle. You’ve gotta taste this one once, just for the unique flavor!

Dec 1, 2007 Very good beer!! Smooth on the palate and chocolate dominates the flavor. Smelled a little like black licorice to me. Very unique beer which stands out from the rest.

Nov 23, 2007 Black pour with a tan ring of bubbles. Roasted malt and nuts, bittersweet chocolate, prunes, and coffee. Not as viscous as advertised. Woody, burnt oats, malt, raisins, barley, weak coffee, and just a little bit of smoke. I expected a stout with the name and look, but got a very good old ale instead.
