Aug 14, 2007 Bottle sample from shigadeyo. Poured a black color with an average creamy brown head that mostly lasted and produced excellent lacing. Heavy roasted chocolate and nutty aroma. Medium to full body with a smooth texture. Heavy complex roasted port flavor with a medium bittersweet finish of long duration. Complex standout brew.

Aug 7, 2007 Dark Brown Color with Dark Tan Head. Bitter Chocolate and Coffee Roasts Aroma. Chocolate, Rich Coffee Notes Dominate the Brew’s Flavor..Smooth and Creamy Mouthfeel. To Balance the Bitterness, Sweet Molasses Comes Through..and Dark Bread Notes....With a Sweettart Aftertaste. This Brew Isn’t About Being Over-the-top, In-Your-Face Outstanding, It’s About Making an Extremely Solid and Amazing Example of the Style.

Aug 3, 2007 Bottle sampled thanks to a trade with DrBayern (thanks Matt, cheers). Pours black with a larger tan head, that is well retained. Aroma of dark fruit, roast, and chocolate. The flavor is sweet upfront, nice roasted chocolate, very smooth, there are hints of raisins through out, and a nicely well blended in hoppy bitterness in the finish. Excellent.

Aug 1, 2007 For beer rate #1100, I have been looking forward to this brew. Picked up a single 12-oz bottle via trade with Frumpy. Pours an opaque dark brown brew with a creamy golden tan head that slowly dissolves and leaves behind a nice lacing and film top. Aroma of dark roasted malt, oatmeal, candi sugar, and more flowery hops. Taste is smooth, creamy with a full body and light carbonation. Flavor has sweet chocolate, candi sugar with a semi dry finish. Aftertaste has a lingering sweet toasted molasses flavor that is just outstanding. Got to do this one again!
