Scored this 12oz bottle via trade. Pours a opaque, sorta thick black that had a nice mahogany red around the edges with a creamy, slighty off white head. Aroma is fairly average, sweet, caramel, dough, maybe a bit of vanilla. Flavor is nice, starts with all those toasted malts, nuts, dark chocolate, coffee and ends with some sweetness, milk chocolate, caramel, brown sugar. Finish has a lingering toastiness that is pleasant and warming.

Nov 25, 2009 On tap at Cambridge Common, Cambridge MA, October 2009. Dark and roasty. Good burnt notes on the nose. A little phenol/iodine. Dry and a little dusty on the palate. Roast malt and powdery chocolate. Eminently drinkable stuff.

Nov 5, 2009 This is a pretty decent effort. Nose of light coffee, chocolate and maple syrup. Nice balanced brew restrained in a good way, with nice intermingling or roasted malt and just enough hop bite. Soft. A nice surprise, thanks holdwine.

Oct 2, 2009 Appropriately dark appearance with a medium size, tan head and a fair amount of lacing. Slightly ashy, chocolate and caramel malt aroma. Flavors of dark bread, coffee and molassas. Sweetness evident throughout but more pronounced in the aftertaste. Medium bodied, decently carbonated mouthfeel with an average length finish.
