Fantastic. This beer is well blended with lots of roasted, chocolate goodness. One of the best in this category I have tried.

Personal Notes: Ok
Im a believer now! Ive been trying several black ales and just havent found one that truly tempted my taste buds. That was until I enjoyed this 1554 Enlightened Black Ale by New Belgium brewing company in Fort Collins, Colorado. The beer is a lovely dark chocolaty brown with the scent of chocolate and dark roasted coffee and topped off with creamy tan-colored head that is not too thick nor is it too thin. Upon my first taste my taste buds went into total shock. Did I really taste what I thought I tasted or was I just dreaming? But the second taste confirmed it! Flavors of strong coffee (much like espresso), chocolate and subtle hints of bitter malt. One taste led to another and then there were none!
This is definitely one going into my Beer Hall of Fame!!

Much like shiner bohemian. Just a dark form of their light equivalent, Fat Tire. Stick with the Fat Tire, there's a reason it sells.

Tasty. It's more of a dark brown than black. It's pretty close to a textbook porter, just a bit creamier. Lots of mild dark malts, chocolate, peat, biscuit.

This beer has a nice after taste for a black ale. On your first drink you get a nice maltly floavor that turns into a chocolaty after taste.

This beer tastes exactly like a brown ale to me. Toasted malts, chocolate, a little caramel. Pretty good stuff!
