Creamy roasted smell. Smooth clean taste, chocolate/caramel malt taste. Very good beer, smooth taste makes it very easy to go down, very pleasant.

| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 12/20 | Sep 18, 2008 Updated: Mar 13, 2009This beer pours out black, just like the name suggests. A two finger head forms on top and laces the glass, however, the head is a little short lived. The aroma smells mostly of roasted malts and some chocolate in there as well. The flavor is nicely mild, being dominated by the roasted and the chocolate malts. Slightly hoppy and bitter. blutt59 (2153), Dallas, Texas, USA
