500 mL bottle. A nearly opaque dark brown. If held to a bright light a cloudy rust-red color is apparent. Thick, tan, extremely persistent head. You can "sculpt" shapes in the head by playing with how you slowly pour the beer through it. Potent aroma of malt spices and coffee. Earthy coffee, caramel and chocolate flavor. Smoky slightly bitter finish.

Jun 14, 2008 1 Pint 9 Fl. Oz. bottle via sammy (thanks!), served at cellar temperature in a tulip glass.
App.: Very deep brown-black, no light transmission, fairly large rocky tan head.
Aroma: Ashen chocolate, some French roasted coffee, a bit of savoury meatiness (soy sauce-like), a bit vegetal, some faint fruitiness and smokiness.
Palate: Medium-full body, soft effervescence for an overall smooth and syrupy feel.
Flav.: Starts with the soy sauce and savoury flavours, moves on to slightly vegetal which breaks into dark chocolate and burnt coffee, then a touch of very dark dried fruit; very slightly off-dry with a bit of bitterness and an aftertaste that is unpleasant but improves.
Dorothy is an enigmatic woman and I’m having trouble deciding if I like her or not. She’s two-faced.
