Apr 15, 2009 Bottle thanks to bhensonb: Pours an opaque black with a thin, spotty-lacing beige head. Aroma of toasty dark caramel and roasted malts with a hint of coffee. Body starts with average fullness and a touch of sweet caramel malt which soon fades into a roasted nutty and burnt drier finish. Has some lingering peanut brittle character without the sweetness. A pretty true to style and drinkable brew.

Feb 17, 2009 Bottle at Whole Foods in Sacramento. Very black color with an emphemeral tan head. Smells burntly toasty. About medium body with creamish carbonation. Flavor is really gritty burnt toast. Goes on to a touch of sweetness before finishing burnt, lightly smoky, bitter. It’s an ok thing, and reminds of the original Guinness from 40 years ago. Except the flavor leaves the mouth rather than staying. Arguably a bit short on ingredients.

Jun 15, 2009 Some coffee in the aroma. This isn’t all that good, just a little bit of coffee, some weight, but mostly unimpressive.
