Oct 8, 2009 22oz bottle shared by riversideAK. Roasty robust malty chocolate nose with touches of coffee and Liquorice. Wow, very viscous on the palate. Deeply roasted and fairly sweet. Bitter sweet chocolate, with good bittering. Tons of depth going on here, yet drinkable. Nice stuff that I would say is under the radar.

Jul 7, 2009 22 oz. bottle. Pours a thick mocha head of long duration, over a black/brown body (SRM 30).......nose of coffee, molasses, toffee, chocolate, bit of hop....taste is initially rich heavily molasses type sweet malts with mild almost balancing hops coming in, mildly astringent finish......mouth feel is thick, chewy, heavy, carbonation medium. A very thick rich heavy brew that is a bit too sweet to be completely balanced.

May 16, 2009 Bottle in trade from BlackForestCo. Thanks Jake! Shared at tasting: Pours dark black with short lived beige head. Smell is chocolate, vanilla nd tootsie rolls. Taste is similar with chocolate and some fudge and fruitiness. Very tasty stuff overall, and definitely one of the better ones from the tasting, I thought. Medium body, and normal carbonation. Good stuff.
