Black, tan head, nice lacing. Nose of sweet plum, roasted chocolate, sweet coffee and alcohol. Finishes sweet and balanced with tart and astringency. The flavor is like a mix of chocolate covered coffee beans and raisins. Styles (1653), Lincoln Park, Michigan, USA
| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Sep 25, 2006 Bottle quite a nice surprise as an extra in trade from BuckNaked. Black with short lived tan head. Aroma is all chocolate up front, as it warms burnt coffe grains start to take over. Chocolate dominates the flavor at first, turns to roasted grain through the middle. Finish is all bitter coffee. Decent overall, but w/o the huge coffee character would have scored much higher for me. ryan (1781), Beltsville, Maryland, USA

The aroma is roast, chocolates, raisins and vanilla. The flavor is milk chocolate, roast and golden raisins. The mouthfeel is soft and smooth. SledgeJr (2977), Omaha, Nebraska, USA
| 4.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Aug 16, 2006 Sampled at RBSG 2006- Grand Tasting. Vintage 2004/05. Pours coal black with a dark beige head. Very grainy. Husks of grain. Husky aroma. Really wild stuff to be able to produce such a freshly cracked smell. Awesome typical stour infusions of flavor such as coffee molasses and roasted malt, but there’s an intensity beyond these things that puts a bit of sherry and coffee liquor in your mind. Delicious.

We like to think that this was the last existing bottle... great chocolate/roasted coffee bean flavor that got chalky at the finish, bitter aftertaste with strong chocolate notes that lingered long afterwards. I mixed some with Khunnen Rasperry Eisbock and it was the worst tasting experiment ever, It did go well with the New Glarus Belgian Red, though... Walt (2289), Chicago, Illinois, USA
