This beer will surprise you with a big hop flavor and a toasty sweet aroma. Pours black from the chocolate and de-bitterized black rye malts. This ale is medium bodied and is well flavored with hints of toffee, nutty undertones and a dry crisp finish.

A deep dark ale with a thin mocha head. In aroma, sweet fruity chocolate malt with dark fruits, light coffee notes, light cereals, light vanilla, very nice. In mouth, a nice sweet fruity chocolate malt with dark fruits, light peated notes, light vanilla, light alcohol warmth, very nice.

Bottle from Discount. Looks like 2 years old at this point. Pours a pitch black with a bit of rising carbonation. Dark espresso, roasted cacao and deep prune notes on the nose. Good carbonation, slightly oily on the palate. A little blueberry tartness, more coffee and cacao on the palate. Lingering roasty bitter finish. For 2 years old this still has some nice qualities.

0.355l bottle @ Hotel Room. Quite a deep and dark looking one this. Not too far off being black actually and a nice medium sized quite lacing beige head. Roasted and dark nose. Something that reminds me of vanilla and wood, there's definitely rye bread here. Dark bitter chocolate and come coco powder also. Smells really nice and deep. Really delicious to drink also. It's thick and oily in the mouth and soft prickling on the bubbles. Dark roasted at first. There's coffee and burnt bread. Kinda mineralish after a while but lots of flavor going on here. Chocolate wrapper in the finish. Highly enjoyed. 10.06.2015

Refrigerated 12 oz. brown bottle poured into a glass. Black with small off-white head. Aroma is strong herbal/pine hops, medium body, medium/low carbonation, and pretty good small bubble lacing. Taste is herbal hops, pine hops, some rye, and bitter finish. This is more black IPA than rye for me and this good for what it is, but is not for me.

12 oz bottle @ home. Didn’t notice it when I bought it but it was already a year old... Black color. Big rocky beige head, with some lace. Aroma’s: resin, roast, drop/laurel/bay leaves, light sweet. Retronasal it’s resin, laurel/bay leaves, drop. Flavor is moderate bitter, droppy, light sweet, with light acidity on the back of the tongue. Medium bodied. Long ashy finish. Still pretty good, but need to score a fresh bottle sometime.
