Sep 18, 2009 Burnt aroma of tar, black licorice, hard roasted coffee. It has a nice tart/sweet berry flavor up front with coffee and raisins coming through next and an ashtray finish. Medium bodied, with nicely balanced flavors. Overall, a good spin on the style. Thanks again, ucusty!

Sep 8, 2009 Why does the bottle say malt beverage? I can tell you that didn’t really drive me to want to drink it. I must be missing something, either that or i should have waited when it was a bit colder to drink this baby. A little too sweet for my taste. Dark muddy black, nothing to see here- medium sized creamy tan head. Aroma was sweet with chocolate, pomme.Taste was sort of annoying with the sweetness. a bitunbalanced in my opinion. Anway, thanks kayla!

Sep 7, 2009 12 oz bottle. Pours a near black with a small beige head. Nose is chocolate, roast, Belgian yeast. Taste is chocolate, roasted barley, licorice, raisins, some subtle fruitiness sort of a cross between blueberries and pomegranate, hazelnuts and a little tiny bit of smoke. Body is medium, carbonation is moderate. This is quite tasty and better than expected!

Sep 4, 2009 Opaque black pour with a small, off-white head. Aroma of dark chocolate and coffee laced with fruit. Flavor is full of bittersweet chocolate and sugary roasted malt. Very little pomegranate to speak of, which is nice. Just a subtle fruity sweetness. Very good.

Aug 31, 2009 From a 12 oz 2008 bottle this brew pours a dark black with a frothy tan head. Aroma of chocolate, roasted malt, berry, licorice and a hint of coffee. Nice taste of berry, roast, chocolate and malt - slight alcohol taste. Very balanced and tasty beer. I enjoyed this unique offering quite a bit.

Aug 26, 2009 12oz bottle. Vintage 2008. Solid dark brown color, medium brown colored foam. Sweet aroma. Smells like chocolate malts, tart pomegranate, and lots of amaretto. Odd flavors. Lots of bitter tangy pom juice. Very deeply roasted barley flavors. Add coffee bitterness. Lots of toasted bread, chicory, burnt grains, some kind of coffee liquor essence. What a strange flavor, it would be spectacular to cook with. This beer is definitely not what I expected. It is very good. UNIQUE.
