Very dark brown beer; yellow-brown head, creamy at first but dwindling. Sweet nuts, bread, buttery (but not diacetyl-like), leafy & yeasty aromas. Sweet-bitterish taste, but with a sourish balance (CO²?). Leafy and nutoil, dark malts, yeasty. Chestnut flour and bitter roasted malts retronasal. Very carbonated mouthfeel, nearly fizzy, tittilating, and much lighter bodied than than the flavour would suggest. Not half bad. A bit rough, but the balance is there. Better hops, less aggressive dark malts would do it no harm.

Sep 11, 2008 Poors deep amber, with a lively head. Aroma is rich and smooth. Tastes of soft chocolatey malts, well balanced, thankfully not too sweet. The alcohol is quite prevalent.
