Apr 5, 2008 Updated: Apr 14, 2008Pours the color of motor oil and has a very thick, long-lasting tan head. Nice aroma of chocolate malt. Strong roasted malt flavor with chocolate and coffee hints. Just a bit of bitterness and a bit of a bite on the back of the tongue. A very nice beer.

Apr 5, 2008 Poured into an Ommegang goblet. Dark brown with clear ruby highlights. Big, fluffy, tan, three finger head. Thick lacing on the glass.
A little bit of roasty malt on the aroma, as well as a sourish fruitiness.
Flavor is of peanut skins with a little bit of classic Belgian dark fruit. Some cocoa powder comes out but on the whole this beer is kind of watery and stale.
Mouthfeel is thin, finish isn’t very dry for an unsweet beer. Carbonation is a touch heavy. Pretty decent drinkability.

Apr 5, 2008 Dark brown to black in color with a decent head. Roasted in the aroma with some chocolate and malts. Taste is smooth and like the aroma has malts, some roastiness, and chocolate.

Apr 5, 2008 22 oz from bevMo. pours a very opague tar black with a musty colored slowly disipating head. scents of toffee and toasted malts...very easy going heavy set taste to the palate that doesnt have any real surprises. the malts carry the taste of choclate and roast... a well put together ale just not my type of brew on a regualar basis. I personally like new belgium brewing company and this was another brew epitomizing the style they are trying to present.

Apr 4, 2008 bottle - Pours dark brown with a one finger tan head. The roast malt and yeast elements in the aroma immediately put me in mind of a Belgian stout. It’s a little lighter than most stouts, but the flavor continues with the roast malt, adds a hint of chocolate, and there’s a little bit of a fruity ester in there. Solid.
