Dec 30, 2004 From a 12 ouce vottle -This one pours a pitch black liquid with a thick (but rapidly diminishing for a stout) brown head and
a complex chocolate-alcohol-malt aroma. Tastewise, this is a perfect beer - rich, creamy in flavor, with a mocha-type body and a hell of a wallop to it! God bless my loving girlfriend for gifting me with this liquid ambrosia!

May 16, 2005 The green eyes stare at me, wanting me to partake of the contents...almost daring me. As the beer ejaculates itself into the glass it produces a smallish dark tan head. It allows no light to pass through, presenting me with an ebony beauty that beckons me to take it.....now. The aroma is huge roast malt, chocoff, walnuts and almonds. A heavy, musky aroma that seeps into my cerebrum. As it reaches my tongue it avails its savory flavors to my eager mouth and lips......huge molasses, roasty malt, chocoff, rauchiness, licorice, hazelnuts.....all the aromas signify that it is ready for swallowing. As it hits the back of my throat, it opens up with a very dense palate, exposing tons of chocolate syrup and slight coffee, coupled with an array of nutty pleasures including hazelnuts, walnuts, and almonds. It has given itself completely to me, and I have pounded its ebony flanks for all it is worth, leaving it a heaving lump. Crank up the band, boys and girls, we have perfection, and I need a hand towel!

does not count  Mar 6, 2005 What can I say. This is beer. Huge body, huge flavor, huge malt, hops just right to balance the sweetness. This is thick and chewy.

Sep 18, 2005 Updated: Jan 3, 2008Draft (13% ABV): Beautifully crafted aroma is as deep as it is complex. Notes of cocoa, chocolate chip, vanilla and brown sugar sweeten up the oak and sherry base. Another swirl of the glass lets off hints of oats, cinammon and sugar dusted pecan. Each time I dip my nose in, I smell something new and delicious. The body continues this complexity, but isn’t syrupy as I expected. Rather, it’s creamy, smooth and very drinkable. It encapsultes more nutty and chocolate flavors that cradle the woody and earthy base. The velvety smooth mouthfeel softens the sweetness of the body, helping to merge these flavors together, seemlessly. The warmth in my stomach lets me know to be wary of this panther in cat’s pajamas. This is easily the best crafted beer I’ve had to date. Until I find something better, this is absolutely perfect! Cheers and a big thank you to my good buddy Jeff (TAR) for the handbottle!!!
