May 20, 2007 Notes of caramel, toffee and acetylaldehyde up front. Soft mouthfeel with good malt balance and nice subdued hop presence. Clean and balanced finish.

Apr 16, 2007 My favorite from Reaper. Tastes very different from a stout, even though it looks like one. A great pint which i’ve had several times at Liar’s. Lots of interesting flavors going on here: cocoa, molasses, and some sweet notes - almost apple like with licorice. But oh so smooth - awesome beer...Definately unique and a must try.

Mar 28, 2007 22 oz bottle. Pours a nice dark black with ruby hints and a large creeamy light brown head that lasted the entire time. Aroma was what you would expect, malts- coffee, chocolate, toasted and some sweetness- molasses and some fruitiness. Flavor was similar it comes on with the usual toastted malt flavor but then right before the bitter finish there is a sudden sweetness that I didn’t care for. Hides the 8.5% alcohol very well. Overall a real nice dark ale.

Feb 5, 2007 Poured black but not opaque. Beige head. Light roasted malt aroma. Some fruity and doughy notes. The flavor was mildly roasted with some dark fruits. Dry finish with a long bitterness.

Feb 3, 2007 bomber from OhioDad, thanks Scott. pretty dark pour with a ruby edge and decent head & lace. aroma and flavors are all about dark fruits: plums, figs, raisins and some licorice and a hint of coffee. a little bit of a dry bite on the finish. overall a very nice winter warmer.

Jan 23, 2007 I was really into this dark, heavy brew. Pours a deep dark brown...almost black with a dark tan head. Nose of dark fruits such as plums, cherry’s and black berries. A bit of coffee and chocolate as well.

Dec 22, 2006 Large, light-tan head (some soapiness) over a very dark, reddish brown body...Lots of roasted malts, and dark chocolate/cocoa...some lactose sweetness. This beer is an interesting blend of a stout and an IPA. The hops are pretty bitter in the finish, and there’s a lingering metallic taste to go with it.
