| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 5/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Nov 27, 2008 Bottle.Pours black with a nice initial head that fades ta a slight rim. Light roastiness on the nose, as well as some lightly sweet malt and perhaps a touch of dark fruit. The taste is nice, with a balanced creaminess, roastiness, and hints of chocolate and licorice. Smooth and firm mouthfeel with a soft finish.Drinkable but I could only drink 2 at a sitting I think. A very good brew

Pours darkest brown with a 1/2 inch head. Aroma was surprisingly sweet with not much else going on. Flavor is a bit sweet up front, but finishes dry and coffee-ish. Some chocolate.

| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 5/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Oct 21, 2008 12 oz. bottle from Total Wine and More in Tampa. Aroma is smoky, woody, malty, a little alcohol. Pours black with a very thick chocolate milk colored head...impressive. Flavor is very woody and smoky...definately burnt flavor. Leaves a bit of a burnt taste on the palate. Overall I like it. For such a ridiculously dark beer...it goes down easy. danielcurtis81 (908), San Diego, California, USA
