Black pour with good ivory beige head. Sweet toffee malt smell. Flavor was sweet and slightly drying. Mouthfeel was nice - a smooth and yet light body. Overall, quite drinkable.

Jun 18, 2008 Pours pitch black with a beautiful caramel/tan 1/8 inch head. Heavy, heavy sweet sticky lacing clings tightly. Smell is surprisingly faint. Smells of bourbon, roasted malts, coffee, and chocolate. First taste is very creamy with the bourbon flavor leading the way with deep rich malts, coffee and chocolate mixing together. A nice strong bitterness follows….again very creamy. Not as big a body as DL, KTG, or Abyss, but still a very nice backbone. This is very good!

May 26, 2008 Bottle. Pours a dark brown beer and a thinner tan head. The flavors are of chocolate, toffee, roasted malts, and caramel. The beer is sweet creamy but overall seems bit watered down, maybe some more etoh would one up this one.

Pours black with a medium sized, short lived head. Smell is very roasty at first, but it seemed to fade on me as it sat out for a few minutes. Flavor was bittersweet milk, roastiness, with a touch of stale cardboardiness to the malt flavor. Medium bodied. Not bad, but not my favorite, either.
