A greadt dark brown poruing beer with a mimiiunal head good to style. Had a lot of roasty notes to the ose and a unerlying chocolate flavor with the roasty maly. This is a great beeer will have a few more in time.

1. On Tap at the GBBF, Kensington Olympia 02/08/2001 Dark coloured with a slightly woody aroma. Strong in alcohol. Hop finish. 2. Barrel Draught from the jug at the GABF, Colorado Convention Center 30/09/2005 Black and strong in alcohol with a fruity aroma. Crisp roast finish. 3. Cask Stillage at the GBBF Bar Sans Frontiers Earl’s Court, London 08/08/2007 Strong roast aroma. Dark and fruity with some bitterness in a crisp and dry malt finish.

this beer pours a german forest black, without a head, after a few seconds, a melted caramel tan head wells up and sits for half a minute before it releases a rich chocolate-y aroma. the first sip hit me with a rich and strong chocolate/coffee flavor and cleeared my sinuses, it even made me sneezed, but the flavor is strong enough to be thoroughly enjoyed while not ruining the beer the finish is a bit acidic, but not bad enough to ruin the drinkability of this fine brew.
