Nov 20, 2005 Big, creamy, off-white head; black opaque body going brownish round the edges. Subdued sweetish toffee aroma with hints of chocolate, coffee, and citrusy hops. Deep, sweet coffee taste, well rounded, ending in a nicely rounded dry, roasty aftertaste. Strong notes of citrusy hops run underneath the taste from start to finish, and is a nice contribution. Taste not that powerful, but deep and lovely. An excellent Christmas beer.

Dec 11, 2007 In the bottle at the 2007 Crescent Moon Holiday Beer Tasting. Mostly black in color with a suggestion of sepia brown. Has a quickly disappearing dark beige head. The aroma of PDQ chocolate mix in milk. A very silky palate. The texture rings the tongue. Slightly smoked, but a BIG chocolate bolus throughout. This is like a southern chocolate pie!
