Commercial Description:
Very dark and smooth ale is made from European Pale Ale, CaraMunich, and Chocolate malts with roasted wheat, roasted rye, and rolled oats, as well. Amarillo Hops are used to impart bitterness. This beer is pushed from the brewery's serving tanks using a Nitrogen gas blend, giving a unique thick and creamy mouthfeel.

On tap @ Rockyard poured a clear dark brown with a small quickly disapating tan head. Aromas of bitter chocolate, coffee, roasted malt and a hint of smoke with a smooth slightly dry lingering bitter finish.

GABF. Some roastiness comes through in the aromas, but it was difficult to pick up. Not much in the way of flavor either. Some chocolate maybe. OK

Had this beer at GABF on 10/2/1999. Aroma is a very faint roasted scent. Color is black with almost no carbonation and head. Taste is a very faint roasted taste that comes across bland and finishes flat. This is a weak and flavorless Stout.

Draft brewery-A pitch black body with no carbaonation Very very small aroma of roasted malt. Taste of malt, coffee, and chocolate. The body was light and the beer was flat.
