Feb 19, 2008 12 oz bottle: poured dark dark brown with an orange tinted brown head. Coffee and choclate dominate the nose. Light vanila and nuts. Sourness on my tongue initially followed by some sweetness. Medium body with a bit of spritziness to it. Mild metallic aftertaste. The finish killed it for me.

Feb 14, 2008 Bottle shared by iowaherkeye. Thanks Joey. Poured an opaque black color with a brown-orange head. Surprisingly, yeasty bread dough dominated the aroma according to my nose. There were also goodly whiffs of molasses, milk chocolate, and alcohol. Sweet with a bit of warming alcohol on the tongue. Full bodied and velvety with assertive roasty malt flavor that mingled nicely with the sugars. Chocolate, white bread, and alcohol rounded out the flavor profile. Very good beer.

Feb 9, 2008 12oz bottle. Thanks again to badbeer for this brew. Pours a dark dark brown/black with a decent sized brown head. Smells smokey, roasty, toasty, malty with alcohol. Tastes like raisins up front with toasted malts and alcohol on the finish. Mouthfeel is a little thin for me but it has nice carbonation. Good beer. Honestly, I wasn’t expecting an IRS, but this one is pretty easy drinking.
