22 oz. bottle via trade with Brigadier - Pours a deep brown color with a one finger thick tan head. Very light spotty lacing. Aroma is light roasted malt, chocolate, and herbal hops. Flavor is roasted malt and chocolate. Palate is dry, bitter and has a touch of sourness. Medium body. This is a decent beer, but I don’t think I will be able to drink the whole bottle myself. Thanks Nathan.

Aug 1, 2008 Sample @ DLD ’08 shared by ??? Pours dark brown with a smaller ecru head. The aroma is roasted malt, dark fruits (plums), dark chocolate, and honey. The flavor has nice roasted malt, cocoa, sourness that come when sweet stouts go bad, slight metallic, and molasses. Medium bodied. Tough to finish because the tartness was distracting.

Jul 23, 2008 Tasted at the Carolina Crew gathering, Greenville NC - thanks to dankman38 for this bonus! Dark brown pour with a molasses or honey like aroma. Weird flavor very similar to an infected beer.

Jul 21, 2008 Tasted at the Carolina Crew gathering, Greenville - thanks to whoever brought this (Tom?) for sharing! I really thought this one was a mess. The aroma was indistinct but inoffensive. The pour was nice and full, though the body was less thin than expected based on this. However, the taste was borderline foul - an icky, tart, spoiled concoction that had little to do with chocolate to me. No complexity, just a mistake.

Jul 21, 2008 Pours a dark brown that shows some light with a thin pale tan head. The nose is sweet and warm, chocolate, roasty, some honey. The flavor is dry, metallic, lightly roasty, sweet, and astringent. The palate is astringent. Not very pleasant.
