Sep 8, 2007 Bottled (Thanks heemer77!). Pitch black colour, mediumsized brown creamy head. Lacing. Aroma is roasted malts, some smoked wood, coffee and dark dry fruits. Flavour is very much the same with very toffeeish hints. Very roasted and smoked aftertaste. Also some slight salted licorace. Really lovely.

May 2, 2007 Bottle sampled on 2/13/07: Pours a barely transparent dark mahogany brown with a thin ring of tan head. Aroma of rich dark chocolate and licorice with a touch of earthy malt. Body starts fairly dull and sweet with a dark caramely malty flavor with a touch of smoke and plum complexity toward a drier finish.

Mar 22, 2008 12oz bottle. Poured a dark brown color with an averaged sized off white head. Aromas of roast, smoke, tobacco, and chocolate. Ash tray. Tastes of chocolate, dark fruits, roast, and smoke. Really smoky all the way around. Lacing left on the glass.

Feb 16, 2008 12oz bottle. Jan 2008 bottling. Terrible cough syrup nose, fuesal, spoiled plums and band-aids. Flavor of creamed blueberries and plastic. Awful, terrible finish that just amplifies the motor oil and blueberry flavors. Cheesy cottage cheese yeast and an arcid burnt plum flavor round this one out. I’m really surprised it’s this bad when it’s a month old.
