Aug 29, 2009 pours out a dark brown with some reddish hues in it, slight lacing off white head. Once again the glass almost stuck to my hands it was so cold, so I found myself warming this one. Aroma is of slight roast, a little chocolate and a little coffee. Taste is much the same as the aroma, little bit of sweetness, nothing offensive or over the top, everything improved when it reached its ideal drinking temperature.

Jun 3, 2009 Nice dark appearance but a minimal head detracted. Nutty and chocolaty nose and a palate to match. A bit thin at the temp served (on draft at the establishment) but richer and fuller as it warmed.

Nov 12, 2007 Draught. Pours very dark red with dcent size off white head. The aroma has chocolate and a bit of roasted malt. The flavor is sweet (once it warmed up in the frozen mug. Why do they do this!!!) but not much roasted flavor I would like. Body a bit on the light side. Easy to drink.
