Jul 8, 2005 Pours a nice thick jet black with a minimal amount of white head that disapates in 5 seconds. Sweet chocolate and coffe aromas that are very inviting. Very sweet flavor with bits of fruit and a sour alcohol finish. Overall, I found this beer to be very enjoyable and would definitely reccomend it.

Jul 7, 2005 12oz bottle via trade with Sregnar35 - Thanks Bill! Pours black with a short brown head. Aroma is toffee and chocolate. Flavor starts off very much the same way sweet and rich. A nice slightly sour finish makes this one memorable. On the palate it is medium bodied and coats the mouth well. Just a touch on the watery side though. I couldn’t find a hint of teh 8.3% in this one. Pretty nice beer.

Jun 27, 2005 Brune foncée aux reflets rouges, très peu de mousse de couleur brune. Arômes pleinement chocolatés et de fruits rouges très mûres. Vineuse, malt hautement torréfié, une énorme dose de fumée grise style charbon en bouche. Corps d’épaisseur mince, texture et impression vineuse allant vers l’aqueux, carbonatation restant sagement en arrière plan, finale plutôt acide. Bouteille partagée avec Joce et Léo, 24 Juin 2005.

Jun 27, 2005 Draft at the Harrisburg brewfest. Pours dark brownish red. Thick beige head on it. Smells yeastier than I’d hoped. Sweet smells, too -- dried fruit esters. FLavor is very sweet, but the body is watery. Too thin, even for a porter. The sourness is a nice touch, but this beer can’t keep up with itself -- too much alcohol, too little body.
