Aug 6, 2008 Initial impression is like a milk stout. Pours a very dark brown w/ good light brown head and good lacing. Aroma of chocolate and caramel malt. Lingering chocolate bitterness. Pretty average. Leaves a not-so-nice aftertaste.

Jul 11, 2008 Updated: Apr 19, 2009Reminds of a Schwarzbier a little. I liked it better 2 years ago, something in the recipe has changed. Black pour, white head. Very smooth and drinkable. Dark chocolate, malt/molasses all very subtle, nothing jumps out. Could preobably drink quite a few of these. When I was in Germany, most of the beers were pretty tame, so all and all, this is not bad and representative of what I had there.

Jul 8, 2008 On tap at Fox and Hound in Winston-Salem. Great dark color with a smaller head than I expected. Good taste and balance, but a little watery for my taste.

Feb 9, 2008 Draft. Pitch black with a light tan head. Some big bubbles float around inside. Smells like coffee and chocolate. Tastes very much light a sweet stout with chocolate, caramel, and roasted nutty flavors. Something seemed a bit unbalanced with the sweetness starting off strong, then an unexpected sourness on the finsih. Still, this one was far more interesting and tastier than I expected. A very easy drinking dark beer.

Oct 30, 2007 On tap at the Durham WBF. Clear, dark brown with a small tan head. Earthy nose, rich caramel, some light nuttiness. Rich, sweet caramel flavor is offset well by the earthy bitterness. Nice!
