| 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Dec 15, 2008 APPEARANCE: Very dark with a thick tight foam that lasted well, leaving good lacing as it dissipated.
AROMA: Dark chocolate, and coffee were most prevalent, finishing with spicey hops.
FLAVOR: A big mouthfull of dark chocolate-covered coffee beans with a nice dry hop finish. Very nice flavors blended well.
PALATE: Creamy, medium-full body lets the flavors linger long on the tongue.
OVERALL IMPRESSION: I could get in trouble with this one. I found this to be a smooth drinker.

| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Jun 2, 2004 Pours a dark brown, almost black. The head is big and creamy and there is sheet lacing. The nose is of chocolate, roast, coffee/mocha, and light floral hops. Flavors of roast chocolate and some coffee. The malts were not as strong in the flavor as the aroma. Hops were nice and bitter. Nitro creamy palate, chewy body and a bitter finish of coffee. DomiNate (123), Boise, Idaho, USA

Very dark black, very small tan head an only a few specs of lacing. This was not the nitro version dark chocolate and deep roasted aromas. Lots of nice very dark roasted flavors and not too much coffe. Feel was a bit thin and overall well balanced. Quite good.
