"An amazing beer. I had the pleasure of drinking this beer on draft. In my mug it was a dark black, 1/2 inch head, roasted malt. As most have mentioned, very impresive for a beer from this country and would never have guessed a 8.0% ABV. Enjoy!"

"Pours into my 25cl tulip glass with a dense, creamy, initially four-finger thick, deeply brown stained, full tan colored head. The beer is a full black color that shows just a flash of ruby to it when held up directly to the light. Weird, the aroma is quite weird; buttery, but with an almost chemical undercurrent. What is weird is that this might not be diacetyl, this is the most likely culprit, but for some reason it just seems a bit different than your typical diacetyl signature. Buttered popcorn aromas clearly dominate, but there is just a hint of roast character noticeable towards the finish.
Quite sweet with a fairly agreeable flavor until the finish which has a phenolic, chemical edge to it. The body has a nice fullness to it as well as a nice soft, chocolate tasting, roast grain flavor to it. That strange buttery note is not nearly as noticeable in the flavor, but the chemical note still manages to mute my enjoyment of this beer pretty significantly.
This is newly arrived in Arizona, so I don't understand why this is so bad; and to be honest the flavors of this beer seem pretty fresh, it is just that there are also some significantly off components to this beer as well."

"A friend brought this to a recent party my boyfriend and I were having. Not being a stout drinker, I wasn't sure what to think. A black beer with hints of coffee and chocolate. A beer with toast for breakfast."

[5] Review by beercronic from Edmonton, Alberta, Canada who has tried this beer once. (8/13/2008 6:39:49 PM)
"Aiwnmn;goeinkk;jO!!!!
Poured out a light sucking black beer and I poured it with a large, thick dark brown head that retains itself at a skim level and leaves behind great sticky lacing throughout. The aroma is sweet and very thick. Milk chocolate, coffee, raisins, prunes seems to come out when warmer. I also may have tricked my brain into smelling something smoky once or twice only. Overall it is very soft on the nose. Tasty stuff - sweet, a bit of soft milk chocolate, some fruit, a touch of alcohol and ends bitter. It's very soft on the mouth with light carbonation, no alcohol burn and a finishes off with a nice super soft coating and mild bitterness. Damn, this stuff goes down wickedly smooth."
