hillfiiiiire (163), Atoka, Tennessee, USA Jun 14, 2008 Dark with a frothy beige head. The aroma is really smoky and coffee like. There’s some nice bitterness on the flavor. Some chocolate also with a rather burnt character. I enjoyed this surprisingly more than I expected to. Quite tasty. argo0 (6167), Washington DC, USA Jun 9, 2006 Brown-black body with beige head. Aroma is medium sweet, coffee, chocolate, roast. Taste is medium sweet, strong coffee with attendant roasty bitterness, some burnt. Evokes coffee grounds. Medium-full body. My friend tells me that this beer can be quite good but that it’s pretty inconsistent -- he felt that we were having it on one of the bad days. oldrtybastrd (1512), Morlautern, Rheinland-Pfalz, Germany Mar 14, 2006 On tap @ GF Blues and Brews Festival. Pours a deep dark brown color. Aromas of coffee, hint of chocolate, and some smoke. Flavor was espresso like with some smoke lingering on the finish. willblake (1930), Long Branch, New Jersey, USA Mar 25, 2004 (3/02) Pours black and thick with smallish head (bad glassware sanitation, I think) that lingers but does not lace(?). Espresso roasting on the nose, some burnt chocolate. BTW-how nice to have a non-smoking brewpub where you can actually smell the beer! Smooth palate coats the mouth with a mild but slightly bitter roasted maltiness. Pretty one-dimensional, but tasty and cheap during happy hour. Zach Diesel (907), Sedona, Arizona, USA Sep 16, 2003 dry roasted aroma, soft and choclatey then intensely roasted, nothing exceptional or unique
