Pours a deep brown color. Subtle aroma of roasted malt and chocolate. Huge flavor of chocolate and roasted malt. Giant body, big and dry texture, soft carbonation. Perfect Palate.

Bottle. Deep brown in color with a nice tan fluffy head. Malty and roasty aroma. Raisiny and date notes. Fruity and malty flavor. Spicey and caramel Sweet. Smooth. Well balanced. Finish is malty. Drinkable. Enjoyable.

22 oz bottle. Porter looking with a tan head and lacing. Description says figs, red apple and dates and I dont get any of that. Instead I get chocolate, grapes and cocoa. Taste is nice with the dried fruits mentioned and even more cocoa. Roasted grains abound as well in this really tasty treat. Caramel and mollasses are in there also.

Deep ruby in color with a variable grey head. Much is included in the aroma: grapes, raisins, pecans, sauna panels, tobacco, winter frost on mulch, cocoa powder, grape soda and wet dog. Big on flavor. English pipe tobacco, clothes chests, unrefined cocoa press, cherry pits and dark figs. Sweetening ensues from concord grapes and dark candi sugar. Fairly engulfing palate feel - not syrupy, but nearly an oil slick. Effervescence is dead on. Applaud the reaper. Finishes like a Christmas blend of pipe tobacco in cohorts with pinot noir. Nice stuff - thanks for landing me a bomber, tpkenned!

On Tap-Brewery/22 oz bottle (I had to try it both ways) Beuatiful pour, nice off white head, moderate lacing. Very complex nose to this one. Currants? Blackberries? Mild hop note, very malty aroma. Very hearty mouthfeel, very rich on the palate. Again berries? currants? Lots of chocolate/cocoa notes as well. This beer has a lot going on, A symphony for the senses! Chuck’s most ambitious beer yet! Well Done!
