Pretty black pour with a tan head and lightly spotted lacing. Smell is roasted dark sugary malt and toffee. Flavor is nice and roasted and coffee filled. Bitter coffee hop finish. Not too heavy, a hint thinner than I expected but still nice. Very drinkable and enjoyable.

May 1, 2008 Updated: Feb 17, 2009Big. Dark. Thick and tasty. Pours deep cola brown - almost black - with a tiny tan head. Chocolate, smoked meats and molasses on the nose. Dark, roasty, smoky malts are huge in the flavor, but it maintains a detectable hop presence and a good balance between sweet and bitter. Also strong notes of coffee, brown sugar and cacao. Surprisingly drinkable for this thick of a brew.

Feb 26, 2009 22 oz bottle Aroma of chocolate. Poured a deep dark brown with a smallish tan head. Man this stuff tastes really good. Luscious is a good a description as any. It’s just a comfortable ale that rolls over your palate like an old friend who drops by for an unexpected visit. Makes me want to try the Older.
