Bottle from Downtown Wine and Spirits. Pours a solid black with a small but long lasting foamy tan head. Smells of chocolate, caramel, and spice with hints of roast, clove and pepper. The flavor comes through with chocolate caramel and light pitted fruits. Lots of bread and yeasty phenols as well as a hint of ethanol. Medium body with a spirited level of carbonation and a bubbly slick mouthfeel. True to style and more carbonation than I enjoy this beer is pretty good but I would have liked a bit more caramelized sugars and dark fruit flavors.

Pours mahogany into a tulip. Off-white head with excellent retention recedes leaving sheet lacing to coat surface. Sweet caramel, roasted nuts and bread aromas. Sharp and thin with hot caramel and chocolate upfront turning to dusty roasted nuts and earth in the dry lasting finish.

Draft @ Sunset Grill and Tap. Tulip displays a amber color with lasting white head. Nose is dried fruit and yeast. Taste has the fruity yeast as well as some toasted malt. Spicy pepper or maybe some sort of hop. My first brew for this brewery and its quite good. The commercial description is totally correct.

Pours deep, hazy mahogany into a trappist glass. Off-white medium head with good retention coats surface. Mild dark pit fruit aromas. Medium bodied and dry with caramel and clove upfront turning turning to sour bitter earth in the lasting finish. The finish is not pleasant and really brings it down notches.
