Feb 1, 2009 Bottle thanks to TheBeerSommelier: Pours a nearly opaque black with dark mahogany edges and a thin, wispy-lacing light tan head. Aroma of sweet sugary dark malts and some candy raisins with a touch of coffee. Body starts fairly full and sugary sweet with some milk chocolate before a warming roasty coffee finish. Needs a little more full malty balance and complexity, but has nice coffee character.

Jan 24, 2009 Bottle shared by goldtwins. Deep brown/black beer with a thin white head. Aroma is a bit cocoaish and lightly coffeeish. Lots of toasted grain, light licorice and sweet plummy fruitiness. Deep rich cocoa flavour, especially as the beer starts to warm up. Lots of mocha. A little bit peppery and boozy towards the back. Pretty solid.

Jan 19, 2009 22 oz bottle courtesy of Suttree. Pour is hazed black, with a tan smallish head. Aroma of roast dark chocolate, coffee, thick sweet maltiness, and a touch of soy. Taste of milky roasted espresso coffee maltiness. Under the coffee notes is some fruit sweetness, dates and plums. The finish was unusual, chalky and dry, yet quite sweet. Palate is medium heavy, silky and mouth coating. Thanks for sending this my way, Phil.
