[thank you, MissDolle] ’
Pours deep black with a small, creamy, beige, film head. Aroma has soft chocolate, lightly vinious with notes of vanilla and cocoa. Okay mouthfeel, but gets a bit too fat and oily for its own good. Very vinious flavour, almost burning. Hard roasted with weak chocolate notes. Again, I get a very underwhelming Smuttynose. bu11zeye (5621), Frisco, Texas, USA

| 4.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 18/20 | Feb 25, 2008 Bottle... VBWT2008... This beer rocks!... Pitch black lager with a mid-sized, creamy, khaki-colored, everlasting head. The aroma is a swirl of rich, roasted nuts, creamed coffee and dark chocolate. Full-bodied and velvety with tingly carbonation. Chocolaty, deeply roasted, medium bitter finish. Smuttynose continues to be one of the most solid, yet least talked-about, breweries out there. This world class bottle of beer was popped open by mgumby10. Thanks for sharing! CaptainCougar (5527), Rockville, Maryland, USA
| 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Jun 14, 2009 Bottle sampled on 5/22/08: Pours a barely transparent dark mahogany with a spotty-lacing dark tan head. Aroma of sweet dark toasty caramel and roasted malts with a touch of black cherries. Body starts fairly full, rich and dark caramely sweet with some sticky roasty smoky character and raisin flavor before a doughy dark chocolate finish. A nice Baltic porter.
