Oct 15, 2009 Bottle: Deep amber coloured with ruby sparks, presumably hazy, extremely firm and persistent tanned head, lively carbonation; roasted malt, honey and dried fruits in the nose; moderate bitter-sweet flavour, soft MF, light to medium bodied; some hidden sweetness and hoppiness in the mainly dry roasty and bitter-chocolatey finish. What a delicious stuff.........

Jun 28, 2009 Bottle. Very little head, dark pour. Chocolate aroma but not much else. Medium-thin mouth feel with average carbonation. Coffee flavor with a touch of chocolate. Not super flavorful, but pleasant. Over, a nice, though not inspiring beer. Good session porter.

May 4, 2009 Murky dark brown, almost black with almost no head, just some bubble around the rim of the glass. Aroma of chocolate, molasses and roasted malt. Flavor is some chocolate, sweet roasted malt, and a little dark fruit but kind of weak overall. Mouth feel is pretty thin and watery with no carbonation to speak of.
