Bottle thanks to ericandersnavy. Pours a deep dark brown, faint red hues, tan/copper head. Aroma of rich dark roast & Alcohol. Flavor is very nice dark roast, caramel, some chocolate, alcohol. Mouthfeel is full bodies, medium-heavy, smooth, low-med. carbonation....Good stuff!

Nearly black in color, this one has an agressive aroma of coffee, chocolate, dark berries, raisin, spice and light hops. Flavor is choco/coffee dominant with lots of sugar, dark fruit, and just enough hops and spices. Solid finish. Very good example of the style IMHO.

2008 bottle thanks to ericandersnavy. Pours a thick black with a large fluffy brown head that leaves good lacing. Aroma has some nice roast and caramel malts with a touch of cinnamon and dark fruits. Taste is mocha coffee with caramel malts, and some chocolate truffles and soot. Darn good. Creamy mouthfeel with light carbonation and a bit of alcohol.

Bottle, courtesy of MissDolle. It pours a beautiful black body under a cute tan head. Heavy on the nose, with chocolate, malt and beefstock. Sweet and malty flavor, with chocolate and a nice piney hoppyness. Full-bodied, oily, warm and sticky-sweet in the mouth, really pleasant. The finish is long, with chocolate and coffee. A really lovely one, sure one of the best of the night. (080823)

Bottle shared by Crosling, thanks man. Poured a deep brown/black color with a moderate tan head that diminished to a thin layer. Aroma of chocolate malt, some caramel, light brown sugar, some moderate dark fruit (plum, grape, and fig) and a hint of yeast. Smooth, lightly sweet entry with some chocolate malt and some light toffee/caramel that transitions into a moderate fruitiness (plum, red grape) that finishes smooth with some light roasted coffee. Moderate carbonation. Smooth, thick, and full on the palate. Definitely a good beer, I could use a couple of these.

Bottle, sampled at RBSG 08. Pours a deep black, with a thick, tan head. Sharp aroma of burnt, toasted malt. Big taste, of burnt, toasted malt, with sweeter notes of over-ripe fruits, and a bite of alcohol. Lingering sweet and burnt flavors. Pretty tasty.
