Appearance: Medium dark brown, nice looking in color. However head dissipates very quickly,No lacing..
Smell: I absolutely loved the smell of this beer, very potent presence of caramel and chocolate, a bit of a roasty aroma too.
Taste: Follows right away with the smell, very good balance of caramel and chocolate. Hints of coffee a bit after the initial caramel and chocolate blast (I'll change this word) Explosion?!. Very tasty.
Mouthfeel: A slight bitterness becomes present as you let the beer wander. Malty roastyness is dominant.
Drinkability: Very pleasant tasting, would drink many more of these! I would advise?! everyone to at least give this one a try.
Edit: Changed some words around so not to offend anyone who thinks I'm copying someone else's review. (Don't mean to offend anyone...)

Nice clarity for a dark auburn colored beer. Gives you a beige head of over a half an inch, even if it does not yield the desired lace or retention thereof. Aroma was mildly sweet and nutty I guess. Sure.
Even more mild tastewise. Thin body. Not much roasting of said malt backbone, which is kinda lacking. Its a smooth brown lager. Oktoberfestish.

I remember having this on tap a few years ago. Nothing to write home about.
