Tap at the Watering Hole. Dark red brown, not much head. Aroma is roasty, bit of coffee, bit of chocolate. Bit burnt. Brown bread. Taste is slightly fruity, more chocolate, touch of cream. Touch of sweetness. Not as expected from the name. plenty of brown bread in there too and maybe a bit of ginger. Pretty nice.

Pours chestnut, quite clear and with just a hint of foam. Nose has some burnt sugar and a bit of nail polish. Burnt rye and bitter caramel. Taste is also sweetish, caramel and burnt sugar dominate - while I am still getting this weird hint of nail polish (which is not that bad but still slightly disturbing) and then this burnt rye character that is quite nice. Aftertaste sweetish and bitter. Overall not bad but this nail polish thing does not really do it for me.

Bottle from Asahiya, 7% served in a snifter it pours a dark inky black with a slight beige head that disappears quickly leaving a delicate ring clinging to the sides of the glass. It has a rich meaty aroma of chocolate & tangy dark fruits. The body is a bit on the thin side but the mouthfeel is nice enough. The taste is pretty good, dark chocolate, some tart berry flavors & a roasty chocolate finish. Pretty nice, it reminds me of my own Cranberry Christmas Porter...

Tap at iBrew. Malty nose, chocolate fudge, caramel, light manure. Dark brown with a low, fine head. Rich fudge flavor, figs, fruits, great rich malts. Nicely bitter finish. Rather like a doppelbock somehow. Good.
