Pours black with long-lived, cream-colored head. Scent is sweet chocolate, licorice, and fruit. The flavor is also sweet, almost sickly, with roasted oats and chocolate and fruit. A great balance is throughout the nose and flavor. The creamy palate perfectly compliments the well-rounded smooth taste. A sweet finish to a very nice beer.

Sep 7, 2008 Bottle. Pours a dark brown with a nice and big foamy head. Aromas are a little fruity with a kind of balsamic/soy edge to it. Flavor has a lot of oats and cocolate with a bit of creaminess to it. Nice stuff.

does not count  Sep 3, 2008 Aroma of dried fruit (craisins) with a hint of salt and pepper. Delicious, rich taste...the finish reminds me of Triscuits and Valdosta pecans.. Smooth and clean palate, not too much aftertaste.

Sep 3, 2008 Pours a very dark color with a nice thick head. Has aromas of sweet roasted malts. The flavor is much the same. It is sweeter than what I had been expecting, though not too sweet. The finish is well balanced making this a very nice brew.

Sep 1, 2008 Updated: Sep 3, 2008Pours deep dark brown, almost black, with tan head, dissipates quickly. Milky, chocolately aroma with hints of dried cherries and molasses. Tastes creamy and sweet, feels silky and smooth in the mouth. The balance and carbonation are great, and I love the cocoa aftertaste.
