Apr 18, 2009 Tastes exactly like what it is. a Belgian Black Ale. Has some dark fruits with a little bit of dark malt to make this one something very different.

Mar 24, 2009 Crazy black, contrasting white head. Something aromatic hits me nicely, there’s a creaminess to the dry and sweet roast. Starts big and chewy, falls down quickly.

Mar 23, 2009 Black with a fleeting tan head. Nice black malt and mocha plum aromas. Light medium body with a frothy mouthfeel. Rich roasty malt flavors with dark cocoa and vanilla coffee - pretty good.

Feb 22, 2009 Deep, dark brown body with adequate head. Complex aromas of dried candi fruit, roast barley, chocolate, and raisin. Ovaltine flavor denotes large amounts of melanoidin malts.

Feb 5, 2009 Bottle, sampled at Woodshop Quad. Pours a deep black with a thin off-white head. Big aroma, burnt and sweet, with sugar, malt, and toast. Taste is also sweet and burnt, with some added pine notes. Lingering sweet burnt flavors. Very tasty.

Jan 24, 2009 Updated: Apr 25, 200922oz bomber courtesy of bu11zeye poured into a tulip.
Pours dark mahogany out of the bottle and settles in almost black in the glass with a fluffy tan head that recedes to a cap and leaves only a little bit of lacing.
Smell is very sweet with candi sugar forming the backbone for some dark fruit and Belgian yeast on top. Hints of chocolate in there as well.
The dark chocolate comes out a little more in the taste and starts out the sweetness along with some plums and raisins. The Belgian yeast is there in the middle along with some licorice which gives way to a dry, slightly spicy finish.
The mouthfeel is medium bodied but the massive carbonation makes it feel thinner than it should.
This is a another very good effort from MS and though it’s not in the same class as some of their beers, it’s much better than most beers out there. Recommended.
