Apr 23, 2009 Draft: Pour was a dark brown bordering on black with a large tan head. Nose was pretty much nonexistent on this with some very light notes of chocolate and belgian yeast. Nice body and carbonation...flavor starts lightly sweet and chocolaty leading to a dry bready finish. Decent.

Nice beer, but Youngs DC still wins out in terms of this style for me. Pours dark with nice beige head. Body is silky with big dark chocolate and roasted coffee flavours. Not bad.

Apr 19, 2009 Had this one bottled, thanks Slothgar! Opaque, dark brown pour with a long-lasting tan head. Milder nose than I would have expected, a touch of barbecue sauce, smoke, and sweet, bready malts. Flavor is quite malty, plum. Milky mouthfeel. Actually disappointingly mild.

Apr 18, 2009 More hops than I would’ve expected, and less chocolate. Obviously an ale of reasonably high quality just the same.

Apr 13, 2009 750mL. Pours a pretty deep brown/ black with a nice brown head. Faint aroma of chocolate and coffee. Taste is bitter roast and chocolate, with a tinfoil aftertaste. Very thin bodied.
