Jun 21, 2005 Strong porter with a somewhat profound lactic twang to it...which adds balance in place of the bitterness it is lacking...lots of dark malt too...Pretty enjoyable beer overall.

Jun 19, 2005 Bottle. Black in color, with nice tan head. Aroma is roasty
and has a sweet smell. Taste is fine until the sugar flavor
comes in. I wonder if they added dextrose to get the abv up.
Whatever happened, it kind of messes up the end of the beer.
Other than that it is okay, and the high amount of alcohol is not
very noticeable.

Jun 16, 2005 Bottle. Complete ebony in color with a substantial tan head. Aroma is filled with mocha and nutty notes. Definitely notes of fruit in there somewhere as well....possibly grapefruit? Goes down like oil....not very drinkable at all, but really tasty.

Jun 12, 2005 A solid black appearance with a tan head. A sour grape and chocolate aroma. The flavor also contained some sour grapes, mild hints of chocolate, and some tobacco. A good deal of alcohol detectable in the aftertaste. Overall it was pretty good but nothing I would want to drink on a regular basis.

Jun 2, 2005 motor oil pour, at first nice chunky head, looked like tan oatmeal, that dissapates very quickly to almost nothing. very earthy aroma’s. musky with some slight spice and chocolate hints. not as heavy as i would have imagined. nose is much more complex than the taste. smokey malt taste with warming alcohol presence with a slightly bitter finish. nice beer no doubt, but left me wanting more.
