Jul 2, 2008 500 ml bottle. Pours black with a low tan head. Sweet, malty with some earthy tones. The taste is bitter and brings to mind unsweetened chocolate. The mouthfeel is fairly light, but not unpleasant. Not half bad.

Jun 26, 2008 Updated: Dec 20, 2008Aroma is roasted and burnt malts, hint of chocolate and coffee, some vegetables also. Flavor is roasty with some coffee and vegetables, and it finishes quite harsh, ashy and bitter. Mouthfeel is a bit thin, quite smooth and easy to drink.

Jun 6, 2008 Courtesy of CigarCityBrew. First US based rating of this beer.
Pours clear deep amber with thin tan head. The aroma is mildly musty dark fruitiness, some mild molasses and a nice load of roastiness. The taste is a bit thinner and meeker than I expected. I get nice burnt notes mixing with roasty malts. The dark fruity esters are more mild than the nose led onto but with ample amounts of grape, dark berries and plums. All these notes come together in harmony creating a pleasant experience.
