Pours a three-finger light tan head that fades slowly to a thin layer leaving a good lace. Just about black with no highlights. Medium bodied and medium carbonation. Light roasted coffee nose. Flavor has some sweetness - a malty coffee. Best by May 18 2009, bought in May 09 and forgotten - still good. $1.45 for a 12oz bottle from Colonial Spirits, Acton, Ma.

Dec 19, 2009 Everything about this beer seemed a bit thin. Just not enough here when I’m trying to enjoy this with my steak.

Nov 3, 2009 Dark but not opaque on the pour. It was brown with ruby highlights. The head was almost tan with bits of lace. The aroma was roasted malts and lots of sugars. The flavor was roasted malts, sugars, chocolate and a lactic quality. The mouthfeel was thin and it went down easy.

Oct 24, 2009 Modest head that settles into a ring of bubbles, but it does leave some spotty lace. Dark, dark brown with a little garnet color. Some light shines through.
Mild darker malt aromas. At the end, there was a notable metallic smell.
Definitely a dark lager in terms of taste, body and crispness. Note of black patent malt and mildly burnt toast. Thin body and relatively high carbonation. Light hop in the swallow. The aftertaste is a combination of two bitters--hop and dark roast malts.
