Jan 20, 2009 Bottle from Hi-Time Wine in Costa Mesa, CA. Poured black with a good sized tan head. Smelled of chocolate and roasted malts. Sweet taste that fell apart a little on the palate. Medium to thin bodied beer that left me a little disappointed.

Jan 14, 2009 Near black hearty pour, moderate brown head. Rich chocolate milk and clay aroma. Chocolate covered caramel flavour with a lactic sweetness that lends a marshmallow quality. Sweet body but dry finish. Very drinkable and very delicious.

Jan 8, 2009 Pours black with very short lived beige head. Smell is lightly roasty with a twinge of tartness to it that doesn’t seem to fit. Taste is very richly roasted and actually pretty full flavored with lots of char, and coffee. Medium to full body with slightly prickly medium carbonation. Leaves a bitter roasty char oily flavor in the mouth. Pretty solid, actually.

Jan 6, 2009 Pours a deep brown bordering on black with a medium creamy and bubbly deeper tan head that left lacing. Aroma of chocolate, vanilla, caramel, nuts and tootsie rolls. Flavor of roasted malt, light coffee, lots of chocolate notes, lightly woody, tobacco and some caramel. Overall kind of dry finish. Well done.

Jan 1, 2009 Deep brown beer. Aroma is quite cocoaish with a sweet chewy chocolate maltiness. Light vanilla and a touch of earthiness. A bit dusty and chewy.

Dec 18, 2008 Bottle shared by Dickinsonbeer. Brown pour with a bubbly tan ring of head. The aroma is pretty off with notes of diacetyl, along with astringent vanilla bean sweetness. The body is pretty slippery. Lots of bitter malt character on the tongue- black malt and charred huskiness. The finish is quite salty. Better flavor than the aroma, but still a bit off.
