Jul 23, 2006 Bottle at Immy’s Tasting on 7-22-06. Dark brown to black and opaque. Tall foamy tan head. Nose is roasted, chocolaty (maybe even chocolate covered peanuts) and coffee-ish. Taste is roasty, light coffee notes, dark chocolate and some slight nuttiness. Body is chewy but well carbonated. Finishes with more chocolate, coffee and roasted malts.

Jul 22, 2006 From Immy’s Tasting. Started this thing off with a bang. Deep brown appearance, slight head. Good chocolate aroma. Flavor was chocolate oriented as well, rich, with a touch of a roasted note. Had some complexity to it, almost like a good mole, but not a spicy one. Really nice.

Jul 22, 2006 Wow. Deep brown, lasting head. Dark brown, bitter lager, very full body with a slight burn/warming feeling from the second it hits your tongue and last on through. Sweet-Roasted-bitter. Loved this one. Another favorite from Immy’s Tasting.

Jul 16, 2006 2005 bottling. Deep red-brown body with reddish highlights. Aroma of chocolate, bitter, piney hops, licorice, and coffee grinds. Bitter coffee body, charred malts, with a long, bitter roasty and hoppy finish. Hints of licorice and touches of caramel. Rich palate, dense flavor profile, reminding me a bit of Great Divide Yeti. One of those beers that wasn’t love at first sip, but improved in my mind dramatically after enjoying several ounces. A winner.
