Jan 23, 2005 Out of the can this pours a dark crimson red with a short lived off-white head. Earthy malts make up most of the aroma, sweet caramel, toasty, and a nice touch of hops. Taste starts sweet with a touch of roasty mocha up front on the palate, followed by some earthy malts and a big bitter finish. The finished seemed a bit overly bitter for me, bitterness trailed long into the aftertaste leaving behind a chalky dry feeling on the palate.

Nov 13, 2005 alcohol was pretty well hidden - and yet there was an odd malt flavor. Little hops. No complaints. Enjoyed at NYC’s BrewTopia fest.

Oct 5, 2007 12-oz aluminum can. Lovely, that. Pours nearly black with a thickish sudsy head that for a minute kind of tries to be moussy. Plenty of webby lacing all down the glass as the head settles. Mild sweet brown bready nose with some cola nut in there. Moderate body, soft carb, gentle flavors. Bread, cola, light roast predominate on the mid-palate. Light herbal hop cling on the finish.

Jun 6, 2008 Dark brown, with a reddish tinge. Thick foamy cream coloured head. Chocolate and toffee aroma. Sweet chocolate and toffee malt, generously provided. A pruney character to the finish, a little earthy as well. Boozy warming finish, sweet. Very nice.

Feb 12, 2007 12oz can poured clear brown with lasting creamy light brown head. It has a sweet aroma of malt, roasted malt, chocolate malt and smoked malts. The flavor doesn’t hint at the smokiness but embraces it. It isn’t too crazy though. Seems to be a mild smoke malt. It hits up front and toward the finish. Around the mild smokiness I taste roasted malts, sweet caramelized malts and chocolate malts. Refreshing brew. Around the periphery of the mainly malt flavor profile I get hints of hop bitterness. Just a hint though. The more I consume the more the sweet caramel and chocolate peek out behind the mild smokiness.

Nov 26, 2007 Dark mahogany color with almost no head. Chocolate malts with a hint of roast and smoke in the aroma. Nice malty sweetness. Chocolate dominated with notes of roasted malt, dried fruits, and the lightest touch of smoke. Creamy and full bodied. A lingering dry smokiness in the finish with a touch of alcohol.
