Aroma is moderate to heavy malty, roasted, chocolate, dark fruits, chilli notes. Very complex. Flavor is moderate to heavy sweet and bitter with a long duration. Body is medium to full, texture is oily, carbonation is soft. Very very nice ;o)) This is very good stuff. (240508)

Thanks to decaturstevo for sharing this one! Opaque black pour that throws up a dark tan head. Coffee and dark chocolate aroma. The flavor follows the aroma. Very smooth, well done.

Sampled at the Savor DC event, this beer was my very first stop and I made sure to go back for several follow up samples throughout the night. Pours a deep, thick, opaque black with a thin, beige head. Aroma is subtle, but plenty of nuts, chocolate, brown sugar and a touch of coffee inviting you in. Flavor was wonderful. Dark cacao, coffee, licorice, brown sugar and caramel. Finish is thick but sweet with little indication of the high alcohol. Very well balanced and a real pleasure to drink.

Sampled at the Savor DC event. Pours a clear orange amber with a frothy, rocky head. Aroma pine, hop resin and oils with some tropical fruits. Crisp, clean flavor or oranges, pine and citrus zest. Flavorful and drinkable. Quick side note: Jamie and the guys from Foothills were without a doubt some of the nicest guys at the entire event.

Draft at Flying Saucer Raleigh. Bright red color. Thick head with excellent lacing and retention. Straightforward citrus hop aroma. Big hop and big malt in the taste, but they don’t meld well and it seems off balance. Still pretty drinkable. 6/5/7/3/13
