Dark cola pour with fizzy beige head. Aroma is chocolate and some woodiness, slightly sweet caramel. Flavor is burnt sugar, some dry earthy roast that is rather nice. A good magic hat offering

Dec 22, 2009 12oz bottle. Pours a pitch black color with a light tan two finger head that retains decently and some lacing. Aroma is sweet with a hint of roasted chocolate malt. The taste has a big coffee flavor with a slight hint of coco and a roasted malt backbone. Low carbonation makes it very smooth and rich.

Dec 22, 2009 Dark, but not too dark. Smells bready. A little grassy hops to balance a sweet biscuity backbone. Not my favorite style, but well made.

Dec 21, 2009 Pours a nice deep brown black with a thin short-lived head. Aroma is coffee chocolate roasted malt a bit of smoke. Kind of a thin aqueous mouthfeel. Flavor is mostly coffee. Not a bad beer. Easy drinker.

Dec 20, 2009 Cool label on the bottle caught my eye in the store. Bottle pour is very dark and inviting. Light carbonation, thin, fast dissipating tan/brown head. Aromas of heavily roasted malts, chocolates, caramel, a little coffee. Very pleasing mouth feel, thicker, very prominent roast grains flavors, slightly smokey, chocolatety, light hops finish is nice.
I really like this brew, my first Magic Hat rating, and I will certainly try more in the line.

Dec 20, 2009 Draught @ Headkeeper: This one poured a dark, opaque brown color. There was as small tan head that dropped off quickly. The nose is good. First off you get some chocolate, then roasted malts. The taste is chocolaty, roasty and a bit dry. Nice.

Dec 19, 2009 On tap for growler fills at Half-Time. Pours a dark cola brown with a thick light tan head. Roast, chocolate, malt, and caramel. Medium bodied and really smooth. Chocolate and roast. Finishes up with a light lager finish. Pretty tasty but not as clean as it could be.

Dec 19, 2009 Reasonable head and foam with some lacing. Solid dark pour and earthy aroma with a touch of hops. Smooth mouthfeel with a bitter aftertaste.

Dec 19, 2009 I was surprised that this one had not been reviewed yet and was pleased to be the first. From the 12 fl. oz. bottle marked March 2010. It pours a rich black tone with a creamy beige head. The aroma is clearly of chocolate malts and light fresh hops. The mouthfeel is sturdy. The taste is like chocolate and it ends bitter. However it is also mild and smooth. Likeable and easy to drink.
