Aug 17, 2008 Bottled. Very black, smal brown head. Oaky tarry nose. Sweet and dense. Full bodied with grainy malt, salt, asphalt and alcohol. Packs a severe punch of oaky whiskey. Very intense and flavorful, and without going overboard anywhere. Well made!

Aug 14, 2008 Had this at Casey and Traci’s tasting 01-08-08 cheers for the great beer and food you two Pours black moving to brown at the edges and with a beige head atop. Quite oily in texture I get a whiff of dusty hops, Loz gets some ’cheesy clothes’, some burnt toast, the bitterness seeps out with each mouthfull and escapes to the back of your mouth, lacking almost entirely in sweetness which is really quite pleasant for a change, bitterness quite pronounced and liquorice and bitter, bitter chocolate (at least 90%) also show. A nice beer that I’m surprised that i’ve only rated at 3.5, still thats what I thought at the time so thats what it will get.

Aug 11, 2008 Bottled at RBSG. Poured black with a swirly cap of beige head.. quite a looker. The aroma picked up sour oak and bourbon upfront with dark chocolate and a bit of molasses behind.. nice, but a bit too much barrel influence. The flavor had dry-roasted chocolate and licorice on the initial impression with a whole bunch of barrel behind.. tart oak and bourbon rolled through the rough finish.. tasty overall, but not great. Medium-bodied (likely slicker due to the heavy barrel influence) with lots of tartness and harsh bitterness on the palate.. came together OK, but it struggled a bit at times.

Aug 11, 2008 Flaske. Kraftiglugt af fims, og det er min gravide kone helt enig i. Ellers en superflot øl, med et lækkert brunt skum på en mørk mørk øl. Smagen er diskret bourbon, som virkelig er vel integreret. Hvis jeg var mere vild med bourbon ville den helt sikkert score et point højere på smag. ALt ialt ville det være en super øl hvis den bare ikke lugtede af fims.
