Dec 3, 2008 Hand bottle from pepsican via iowaherkeye. Thanks fellas. Poured an opaque black color. The head was soapy and brown. Smelled of chocolate, oats, brown sugar, toffee, and fruit liqueur. Full bodied and semi-sweet with a smooth mouth feel. The sugars were mitigated somewhat by mild bitterness imparted by the roasty malt. There was some raw alcohol flavor, ala chocolate liqueur, supported by dark fruit, subdued anise, coffee, and a bit of mango. I also thought there was a decent amount of citrus in the background. As with most RIP’s, better when at cellar temperature or warmer.

Dec 1, 2008 Bottle brought and shared by DSG at the Pizza Port Bottle Shop. I believe he was visiting the States from Israel for a few weeks. Thanks! Tasted with wetherel and others. Pitch black with a small maroon ring. Heavy nose of oatmeal chocolate, pancake batter and some charred wood. I remember describing the aroma as "thick." Smooth chocolate and roasted malt flavor with a touch of currant and caramelized brown sugar. Very drinkable, with a chewy palate.

Nov 20, 2008 Nice blend of dark malts with great body and color. Nice burnt/roasty flavor, but not over the top. A great brew.
