Dec 1, 2009 Intense, black pour with a ring of cinnamon-colored head. Aroma is spicy cedar, chocolate, dark caramel, and pepper. Flavor is a bold and immensely flavorful reflection of the nose. Supremely drinkable despite the abv, and has just enough carbonation to lift everything off the palate for a non-cloying, but lingering finish. The cedar aging works amazingly well with this particular brew, and has made me a fan of the process. Very well done, and quite memorable!

Nov 29, 2009 750ml bottle, with a big thanks to Ibrew2or3! Pours an inky black with a slow forming moderate cinnamon brown head that lingers. Aroma is fresh cut cedar, chocolate, espresso, and pepper. Flavor is more fresh cedar up front, followed by espresso, chocolate, caramel, and more pepper-like spice on the finish. This is another one where the cedar just seems to shine nicely without taking over the entire beer and being the only thing going on. Nicely done and very enjoyable, thanks again Dave!

Nov 23, 2009 Bomber bottle from the brewery: Pours a thick black with a thin brown head. Malty aroma is smoky with hints of dark chocolate, cedar and some peppery spices. Has a thicky creamy mouthfeel with a flavorful tone of dark chocolate, caramel and a mild spiciness in the finish. Very well balanced and an excellent sipping beer.

Nov 14, 2009 Bottle courtesy of ericandersnayv. Pitch black pour. Lovely appearance. Aroma is of large cedar with sweet spice and the candles in my 3rd grade teacher’s classroom. Also some black pepper scent. Taste has spicy pepper with cedar upfront that immediately turns to rich chocolate and coffee. This is coating my lungs. Wow very good. Finishes spicy and flavored. Definitely one of my favorite CC beers to date.
