Sep 10, 2004 (Thanks to SDbruboy for sending me this beauty as a bonus!) Pours a death black color with a thin, tan head that disappears rapidly. Nice, malty aroma coupled with what I believed to be cinnamon. Very bitter chocolate and roasted taste. A wee bit rough around the edges, but mucho tasty all the same.

Sep 8, 2004 Thick pour with a small dense tan head on a black body. Smells slightly sweet with a roasted background. Flavors of coffee, tobacco, and leather. Slight alcoholic aftertaste with a high bitterness.

Aug 18, 2004 Sweet chocolate malt and dry, espressoed coffee beans converge within the very fruity, black grapey esters…Aggressive acidic notes accompany the strong roasted malt bitterness to an unpleasant degree…This one’s as rough as the bulldog on its label…

Aug 16, 2004 Dark brown/black and thick pour. Very small tan head. Complex aroma of cherry, licorice, chocolate, and figs. A little roasted. It has a roasted/smoked sour cherry flavor with some cherry cough syrup sweetness. Maybe some tobacco also. Taste is a bit like the Bells Cherry Stout, but not quite as sour and a little sweeter. Syrupy mouthfeel. Overall, very nice and complex, but it is very heavy... a little too heavy.

Aug 15, 2004 OBF 2004. Pitch black. Very smoky nose of licorice, burnt malts, sweet oily and smoke, very nice aroma. Extremely thick, oily sweet plums, tobacco and sweet malts. Finish is full of burnt malts and sweet dark chocolate. Cloying, sticky and addictive.

Aug 7, 2004 Pours really black in color. Has an overwhelming flavor of roasted malts. It is very easy to drink for such a strong drink. Really good quality, great for $4.99 a 4 pack.
