Dec 24, 2005 Fat little tan head with a thick clingy lace that just looks nice. Mahogany colored brew, good clarity. Nose is light malt and hops, surprisingly. Body is med/full, creamy. Mildly sweet malts greet the palate along with a light hop spiceyness, hints of roast and chocolate skittering through. Finish is lightly sweet, fruity with a little nuttiness also.The flavors seem to to be vague, light. Not sure what we,re shooting for here? Thanks to SDbruboy for the trade!

Dec 13, 2005 Pours a dark brown,clear not cloudy at all.Loads of dark fruits,rich malts and a chocolate shake to boot. Taste is almost totally like a roasted malty chocolate shake. Very nice.Does have a little botterness. Just a little thin on the tongue but has a nice lingering flavor.

Dec 10, 2005 Poured a darkish brown, but in all fairness I was paying closer attention to the brew kettle and it was getting dark outside. Nose is basically malty maybe a bit roasty. Unimpressive, maybe I was expecting too much. More malts and some bitterness....a bit of a letdown given some of the ratings. Medium mouthfeel.....rather average. Not bad, but not that great either.

Dec 5, 2005 Malty, schwarzbier aroma; roasted but an impressive flavor with a long finish of metallic bitterness. Light brown, white-ish foam. Not as scary as the Reaper on the bottle would have you think.

Dec 1, 2005 Bottle. Pours a deep maroon color. Slightly sweet Belgian candy-like aroma. Also has a little bit of chocolate in the nose. Has a stout quality up front. A bit of a hoppy bite in the middle and finishes off with a roasted coffee/malty flavor. Very rich flavor. Alcohol is well hidden. I like it.
