Sep 24, 2008 Bottle thanks to bu11zeye. Pours with a huge, dark brown head covering a black body. Aroma of soy, chocolate, alcohol, and cinnamon. Taste is coffee, alcohol, chocolate, smoke, spices, and overall, pretty rich. Syrupy mouthfeel, light carbonation.

Sep 20, 2008 Bottle shared by doulos31/goodgrief. Pour was typical for the style, dark brown-black but with only a normal/weak looking head. The aroma was vinous, coffee, chocolate. The flavor followed the aroma while it finished with some roasted ashy notes, though. Slightly bitter finish, probably more from the roast than any substanial hopping. Mouthfeel was slightly acidic, a little on the light side for the style. A decent but not wonderful brew. Thanks for sharing, Tom!

Sep 16, 2008 Beer pours dark, smallish head and little lacing. The chalkiness of the first sip is striking. I like the chalky thing in my stouts. The flavor is lots of roast, cocoa, maybe a hint of dark fruit and a touch of ash in the finish. Sweet, but certainly under control and not difficult to drink at all. Decently complex and above average in enjoyment. It didn’t wow me, but left me without any concrete complaints.

Sep 8, 2008 12 oz. bottle courtesy of hopdog and SS. Pours black with a small tan head. The aroma has a moderately sweet fruitines powered by prunes or perhaps figs. There are also notes of roasted amlt, chocolate, and a hint of coffee. The flavor still has some dark fruit to it, but is more influenced by the roasted malt, coffee, and chocolate. Full bodied with lighter carbonation. This is a very solid offering.

Aug 30, 2008 Pours pitch black with small brown head. Smell is charred malt, dark chocolate, espresso and ash. Flavor is much of the same with more coming from the espresso and chocolate. Still a little fizzy for the style but a nice full body. One of my favorite Texas beers but I preferred this one fresher.
