Dec 4, 2007 Bottle. Pours nearly black with tan head. Aroma is malt and chocolate. Flavor is malt, dark chocolate, vanilla, hint of anise. Very smooth and thick. Didn’t take good notes this time as I enjoyed this one while putting up some christmas lights, but I got more. Fantastic stuff.

Very dark brown color, oily, beige head. Nutty aroma, dark chocolate and roasted malt, very well complemented by some vanilla. Full body, strong flavors (malt, roasted malt, dark chocolate, vanilla, tobacco, light coffee...); unfortunately there is a light cardboard touch. Strong hopping, but overwhelmed. Very strong alcohol, burning feeling (maybe too much). Great.

Nov 28, 2007 Sampled during Manhattan Blind IS Tasting: Real nice, so far in the set one of my favorites. Nice balance and sweet, richness. Alcohol is strong but it is balanced with roasted malts and caramel.

Nov 27, 2007 Thick and black body with thin chocolate head. Coffee, chocolate, licorice and lots of roasted malt. A big beer that I would have no problem putting a couple down of since it’s so damn good. Alcohol is pretty subdued. Slightly bitter finish. Taste lingers forever.

Nov 27, 2007 Thanks to awaisanen for this 2006 bottle. Pours a deep black with a small bubbly/creamy lightly lacing deep tan head. Aroma of sweet toasted/lightly roasted malts, caramel, light alcohol, some almonds and bar cherries. Flavors of caramel, milk chocolate, mixed nuts, some vanilla and woody notes. Nicely done, looking forward to trying the Older. Nice creamy palate.

Nov 26, 2007 Thanks to riversideAK for the bottle. Pours dark brown with nice sized brown head. Roasted espresso and sweat malt nose. Flavor is big on coffee up front, then settles down and chocolate starts to dominate. Nice lttle spice and black pepper notes also.
