Aug 9, 2008 Pours very deep brown-black with a mid-sized, creamy tan head. Smoky, sweetish roasted aroma. Lots of roasty flavors, with a strong chocolate presence, fruit, and spice. Hop presence is very mild. Very smooth mouthfeel, medium bodied. Tasty and easy to drink.

Aug 8, 2008 tap: black/dark brown color. Charcoal and smoked aroma. Taste is of caramel and smoked malt with light carbonation and a slight vinous/sweet taste. I have always enjoyed drinking this beer, especially in winter.

Aug 5, 2008 Updated: May 16, 2009I have to admit that this beer is absolutely beautiful in the glass. It pours a beautiful deep dark red and a full and thick beige head forms and lasts. Minimal lacing on the glass. Very malty in the aroma, giving off scents of strong chocolate, light toffee, and some earth. A light bodied beer. Tastes of roasted coffee, giving way to some strong earthy notes. Finish was very minimal. Overall, a pretty decent beer.

Aug 4, 2008 12 oz bottle. Pours a deep dark brown with a nice beige head that leaves a nice level of lacing. Nose is of burnt coffee and a hint of chocolate and spice....I almost get red hots but not quite. Taste mimics the aroma (minus the red hots) lots of roasted flavors and hints of coffee weave in and out. Very smooth and easy to drink, especially for people that "don’t like dark beers". They should try this. nice and easy, full of flavor.

Jul 30, 2008 355ml bottle (Beertopia, NE)
Very dark brown, healthy off-white head. Initial soy sauce aroma, but that fades into a rich chocolate quickly. Soft carbonation, succulent in the mouth. Feels a tad sweet, and a few fruity aromas rise up the nose as it’s in the mouth. Followed by a slightly burnt roastiness in the taste. Fruity esters quite prominent, but the finish is back to soft dark chocolate. Late finish picks up some fruity hops. Light, but full-bodied, all-round solid beer, very tasty and quaffable.

Jul 30, 2008 Bottle from the brewery. I don’t know too much about this style, but I am certainly curious. The color is dark brown with amber and the lingering head is an impressive creamy tan. The aroma consists of cocoa and the flavor is that of faint chocolate. Not much to say about this beer. It is medium bodied without much in the way of flavor. A very mild beer, refreshing, but not one from New Belgium that I would purchase again.
