Well they don?t have the same label or call it Enlightened Black anymore but this must be the same ale. So here is my review. It?s been a long time but this dark ale -brewed with spices- favorably compares with another ale that used to come from Colorado- Blue Moons Mountain Abbey Ale . Makes sense that New Belgium would produce something to compete with it. Glad! I miss the Mountain Abbey! This ale is dark, chocolaty, and delicious. I don?t discern any spices?so don?t know what that is about.

A good dark brew, I wasn?t expecting dark since I didn?t read the label- it has obvious coffee notes and chocolate finish it?s good for what it is, that just isn?t my favorite type of brew but it?s a good dark ale

This is a really good example of a dark, malty, hop combo that is a great balance of the two but is very drinkable. Very solid.

Dark but not heavy. Hint of sweetness.

Nice malty taste, not too bitter like some "black ales."

Malty start. Hoppy finish. Overall good.
