Poured from a 06 bottle. Poured a deep garnett color with a fluffy off-white head. Strong nose of sugars and alcohol. Taste was equally as strong, with sweet candy flavors dominating with underlying fruit and oak notes. Alcohol was definitely present, and it would probably would be even more enjoyable if it was given time to age. Complex brew that probably isn’t everyones cup of tea, but I enjoyed it.

Sep 6, 2008 2006: A massive beer that would compare favorably with some of the better aged sherries from Spain or Portugal. It is bold, imaginative and definately a sipper, 12oz is too much for a single person, and this beast should be shared with company so that it can sink it’s teeth into more people. almost Jamaican rum like - rich, colorful, flavorful, bold and assertive, incredible mouthfeel... a good substitute for a rum cocktail.

Sep 6, 2008 2008 bottle, batch 6. Pours deep amber brown, with a thin off-white head, little if any lacing. Strong odor of dates, raisins, alcohol, earth, and leather. Thick body, a little sticky. Intensely sweet carmel and alcohol flavor, almost a bourbon flavor, spicy, and fruity. Amazingly flavorful and potent.

Sep 5, 2008 bottle from lonestar beverages in carrollton, tx. poured a clear dark amber with ruby highlights and a bubbly beige head that lasted very good. i made the mistake of sampling this one right under the fan. the nose hit me with some strong caramel and some hints of fruitiness. i thought the alcohol blended in nicely. almost seemed to have a whiskey aftertaste. the mouthfeel was thick and rich. when swirled it hung on to the side of the glass very well. Excellent Beer!

does not count  Sep 4, 2008 Very different beer, but seems to be a bit one dimensional. Very high gravity and thick mouthfeel, but no other flavors to accent how big it is. It is not bad, but doesn’t leave you wanting to rave about it or want more.

Sep 4, 2008 Pours murky reddish brown with no head. Aroma is riddled with dark fruit, caramel, and molasses. Flavor is intensely sweet. Honey is prevalent, caramel, molasses, and tons of brown sugar. Borderline cloying. Palate is like syrup. aggressive, and almost lacerative,
