bhensonb (2319), Woodland, California, USA
May 6, 2008 500 ml. bottle. Rich chocolate and malt aromas. Sweet. Opaque brown/black color with a finely bubbled and impressive tan head. Near medium in body with coarse carbonation. Flavor starts with chocolate, merges into coffee, followed by toasted malt, and then back to something like mocha. Cacao is in every sip. The finish tapers off to something smoky scotch malt with a tad of sour. Finishes rather dry, with a little sweet chocolate, and bitter from toasted, burnt malt. Does turn a little watery with time.

Beershine (1010), Miami Beach, Florida, USA
Apr 23, 2008 Rich black color with healthy tan head. Aroma is slight diacetyl but not in offensive amounts. Peat, salt, roasty toasty, carob powder, some chocolate, creamy mouthfeel, slight sour tang. Substantial and seems healthy.

Apr 22, 2008 Pours a dark brown with a thin tan head. Aroma is mostly burnt malt and barley. Tastes of semi-sweet cocoa, more burnt grains, earth, and hops. Finishes like a typical English style stout, thin and bitter on the palate.
