Jul 2, 2008 Black color......opaque. Thin head. Bold aroma of malt, with a few floral notes. Very sweet front, with bitter flavors that break through......overly crisp mouthfeel. Back has a sharp bitter taste. Poorly balanced.

Jul 1, 2008 mediocre at best, poured a watery looking black color with hardly any head. Aroma had some roasted malty notes and very mild smoke notes. Flavor was on the watery side. Some malt notes with nothing that really stuck out at me.

Jun 23, 2008 Bottle with the Choc label; poured a dark cola brown with very little, off white head. Aroma of chocolate, molasses, and fruit. Fouind the aroma to be solid, but a tad strange. Flavor was severely hampered by a trio of bad elements; watery and fizzy palate, with some astringency. Finish of the beer is tasteless and nasty and the same time. A bit weird. Not very roasted or chocolatey at all either. I think the last word of the name sums up this beer well.

Jun 23, 2008 Bottle. Pours a deep murky brown. Very little head. Muted roasty aroma. Taste starts off alright with roastiness, light cocoa & chocolate but finishes with some strange awkwardness.. Thin body & mouthfeel & almost seems like a watered down scharzbier.

Jun 20, 2008 Bummer. Looks sexy, but it’s too watery. This Malt of the Earth newsletter says a whole bunch of awesome stuff about this one, aight, but it’s talking about hints of chocolate and coffee and dark fruits and bunny rabbit and buttered corn on the cob, and flamin hot cheetos, but I’m not getting anything. Little chalky and bitter on the finish.

Jun 6, 2008 120z bottle thanks to BeerTracker (BA site). Pours dark brown to black with a tan head. The nose had some roasty malt but was overwhelmed by vinegar. Ugh! Did not like the aroma. Taste too was of roast malt and some nuts, but still too much oily vinegar. Blech! Mouthfeel was medium-to-thin and even a bit of dryness in the end. Was not impressed.
