Dec 5, 2005 Pours dark brown / nearly black opaque with tan ringing head. Roasted chocolate coffee aroma. Soured flavor. This had to have gone bad. Too bad, it started very well.

Dec 2, 2005 22oz bottle acquired in trade with DarkElf (thanks!). Poured dark brown (almost black) with an averaged sized tan head. Aromas of cocoa, roasted malts, nuts and light coffee. What was up with the taste. All I got was sour and tart. I would have suspected a bad bottle, but I read other raters who mention sour.

Dec 1, 2005 Thanks to hopdog. I think this one may have went bad though. Will re-rate if I get another chance to. Pours black with a smaller tan lacing head. Aroma of chocolate, sweet caramel, coffee and some nuts. Flavor of the same at first...then goes very sour very fast. Thinking this may have been infected.

Nov 18, 2005 Tap @ Redbones. Good nose, sweet. Marshmellow, cocoa, Chocolate milk. Blackish brown color, no head to speak of. Bittersweet flavors, like aroma with a viney subtle dried fruit addition. Medium body, lite creamy mouthfeel, Powdery dry finish, coats the tongue. Tasty beer, had this last so I was having a bit of palate fatigue. Gotta love the Northwest fest.

Sep 15, 2005 Bottle: Cola brown color with a thin kahki colored head. Some cocoa and roasted barley in the aroma Bitter sweet chocolate, light coffee notes and a moderate amount of roast. A slight tartness in the finish that I found in many of Siletz’s offerings. I had several samples of this at the KLCC fest, and that batch was a much better beer.
