There is just a thin slice of tan head floating above this black oily brew.
Roasted malts, chocolate, coffee and dark caramel in the aroma.
Lightly sweet, moderately bitter with some drying in the finish. The palate is creamy smooth with soft carbonation. ryan (1781), Beltsville, Maryland, USA

| 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 17/20 | Dec 3, 2006 (03 thanks Springslicker) As close to black as you can get. An aroma of light alcohol and chocolate. A dry chocolate flavor with just a hint of a sweet finish. I know thats odd but that’s what I got. A light hint of coffee. A mouthfeel that is slightly grainy but good. A very good beer. Suttree (2740), Knoxville, Tennessee, USA
