Aug 14, 2009 33cl bottle. Poured an unclear, deep ruby colour with a generous, foamy tan head that was slow to dissipate leaving a layer encircling the glass. Sweet, plummy, chocolately flavours combine with roasted malts and a coffee on the nose. Dominant notes of choclate and coffee flavours with a slightly perfumey backdrop. A roasty, bitter dryness in the finish, which is of average length. Solid, smooth mouthfeel, good carbonation but the overall body of the beer might be a bit lacking in terms of dimension.

Aug 12, 2009 I got this 12 oz bottle at Legal Seafoods in Boston at Copley Plaza. Poured a cloudy brown with a moderate sized tan head and good lacing rings. Nose is of roasted malts with chocolate, coffee, and raisins. Mouthfeel is robust but still smooth. Flavor is chocolate in the main, with some coffee notes. Finish is dry and lightly bitter.

Aug 9, 2009 Pours a deep, dark brown with a dark tan head. Smells of roast malts, maybe a little chocolate and coffee as well. Rich flavors, nice and creamy. Taste is of milk chocolate and a little hint of coffee as well. Nothing astounding here, but a quality beer overall.

Aug 3, 2009 Bottle. Pours dark brown, almost black, some red highlights. Small offwhite head. Sweet aroma of coffee and chocolate, some nuts, caramel. Flavour is sweet, some bitter coffee notes, otherwise much the same as the aroma. A little bit thin and watery. Nothing amazing, but nice and drinkable.

Jul 27, 2009 seems like a beer with not a whole lot of alcohol but a lot of calories. screw that. warm, roasted balanced with sweet malt. its pretty good, but rich, and filling, and not terribly comnplex on the flavor. for the filling-ness of it, i would rather go with some more complex, like an impy.
