12 ouncer, w/o freshness info
Pours damn near black, mocha head, sticks around nicely, fluffy and mottled. Leaves plenty of moderatly thick lace. Nose is vibrant and full of doughy bread notes, burnt grains and herbal highlights. Tasty and bold brew... not sure where the 10 % is hidden, I dont taste it. Notes of dark grains, dark chocolate, leather, and smoke. I like it. Go get some as this is an interesting brew thats well worth a try.

Wow, I don't even remember this beer existing, let alone buying a bottle for $6.49...but there it was, in the deep, dark recesses of my beer closet. It looks like I'm a good four years beyond the next most recent review here. Any more of these still out there?? I'll just say that this exceeded my expectations for an 11 year old "pilsner" and I'm glad I didn't have to break the glass case on my commemorative 2010 World Series Champion SF Giants Budweiser to enjoy a beer tonight. I'd much rather have that one poured over my grave than into my mouth, thank you very much.

Dark black pour, tan head 4/5". Aroma was plenty of hops and roast, there's just one of your juxtapositions.
The taste is smooth, yet bitter, roasty yet light mouthfeel, immense yet hides alcohol well. The name is so fitting. Its not all roast, the hops standout, grassy, bitter, citrusy.
Cost was a little much, but this is one of those hybrid double black ipa/porter/schwarzbier/pilsner type of things.

Bottle share thanks to Toby. Dark for a strong pils, lots of malt, roast grains present but subdued. Bittersweet. Not quite a schwarzbier, interesting take on several styles.

09/26/13 From bottle. At 10% this has an exaggerated burn in the taste. Unfortunately it is at the expense of anything nuanced in the brew. Sure there are roasted malts in the aroma, but when the rubber meets the road...all I'm getting is "The Burn". Could be a bottle beyond use by since it was a one-off in 2009, but at 10% I wouldn't think that should not be an issue.
