Feb 2, 2008 draft @ Taco Mac. I wish the bartenders at Taco Mac and other places knew not to use frosty pint glasses when serving good beer. anyways, after letting this one warm up a bit I got some nice malty chocolate aromas... the body was full of flavor and carbonation. Very smooth over the sides of the palate with some caramel. Nice finish, a touch of alcohol.

Jun 13, 2008 can. the malty aroma has a chocolate and dark fruit presence. tastes roasty with a thin body. carbonation seems to accentuate the thin body. very good taste and aftertaste, but could be a little more chewy for this style.

May 9, 2008 black pour with a thin cream head. thick malt scent with roasted malts and a hint of smoke. great thickness and a very nice malty flavor that ends with a smooth smoke aftertaste. very impressive brew.

Aug 16, 2008 @ Seaside Tavern, Stamford, CT. The way the bartender poured this beer made it look like a rootbeer float. Very nice sweet malty aroma and it had charleston chew undertones.

Aug 5, 2008 Can shared by Fidel, pours attractive burnt caramel brown with ruby highlites. Nose is roasted peet and caramel. Same as in the nose, the flavor has some nice roasted qualities with caramel.

Nov 27, 2008 12oz can. Darker brown with a beige head leaving lasting foam. Caramel, toffee, and lightly hoppy aroma. Big, malty flavor. Molasses, toffee, piney hops and light vanilla mix smoothly. Medium bodied with lighter carbonation. Quite drinkable. When you want malt, this is not a bad option at all.

Nov 3, 2007 Can. Dark Brown color with hint of red. Nice thick off-white head. Aroma is malty sweet with hint of raisin and chocolate. Full bodied and malty sweet with a burnt flavor. Chocolate coffee flavor lingers. I really like this beer. For the price it is a good value and I buy this regularly.

Dec 17, 2007 Can. Pours just like they say...like cola; black with gorgeous red highlights when looked at under direct light. Nose consists of coffee, roasted malt, chocolate malt, caramel malt, and roasted nuts. Flavor is so roasted, but never crosses into burnt. Bits of chocolate and lots of coffee come through with a background of butterscotch, caramel and some smokiness. Full bodied, frothy, and very drinkable. Great brew. Not my first good canned beer..but definitely my favorite to date.
