Oct 28, 2007 Hazy dark brown, with a nice thick foamy brown head, leaving lacings. Heavy aroma of roasted/smoked malts and chocolate, with underlying porty notes. Lots of dusty hobs in the flavor along with roasted bitterness. On the sweet side we have the underlying overripe darkfruits, but its mainly a complex bitter roasted/hobby brew i think.

Nov 28, 2005 This christmas beer I really enjoyed. Didn’t notice how fast the head dissappeared... but now it’s gone! The aroma is good: lots of liqourice, dark chocolate, roasted malts and grapefruit! Liqourice and roasted malts is dominating flavour, but it isn’t as stoutish as appearance and the nose are.

Mar 8, 2007 Bottle. Pored a dark brown, opaque with a moderate tan head. Nice full malty aroma with a nice blend of spicy and fruity sweetness. Rich and creamy in the mouth tastes of caramel, and a raost character. Bitterness is subdued. Almost oily feeling in the mouth, but quite nice - very rich all around.

May 10, 2009 16.9 oz bottle-Dark cola-like pour w/a slight off white head. Sweet, Belgian type aroma. Sweet flavor of candied sugar, caramel/toffee, some colander/spice. Solid winter type brew, pretty malty. I know I’m not drinking it @ the correct time of year to fully appreciate it but I still want to give this a fair rating. Long spiced finish; good brew.

May 5, 2007 Bottle sampled on 3/12/07: Pours a nearly opaque with dark mahogany edges and a thin-lacing froth of dark tan head. Aroma of sweet earthy dark caramel malts with a touch of light spice. Body starts sweet and earthy with some sticky dark caramel and a drier lingering milk chocolate finish.
