wickedpete (500), Lexington Park, Maryland, USA Apr 5, 2008 Thanks to Aaron for this one. Batch 2. Black body with a frothy bubbly head. Aroma is spicy, salty toffee, chocolate, and slight metallic. Flavor is sweet, buttery, chocolate, toffee, caramel, spice. Dry finish. Quite nice.
railcat1 (466), Hammond, Indiana, USA Jul 4, 2008 This beer poured a dark ruby color with a nice strong kick to it and flavors of olak and vanillia and a nice complex finish to it.CHEERS! Crosling (1592), Loveland, Colorado, USA Jun 28, 2008 Batch 1. Deep mahogany color with a full foam. Beautiful aromatics of caramel, toffee, oak, vanilla and bourbon. In the mouth it’s loaded with malty goodness, chocolate, coffee, fruit, caramel with an intriguing barrel character as well. Very complex and well crafted. This is easily my favorite beer from Captain Lawrence. jimbowood (699), Athens, Georgia, USA Jun 28, 2008 bottle. Batch 1. This is one stronnnng beer. Very strong alcohol flavor. No elderberry noted here, just a ton of oak and bourbon. I like this beer, but 750ml’s of it may be too much. Rciesla (674), Brick City, New Jersey, USA Jun 12, 2008 Bottle. Pours a dark brown body with a tan head. Aroma is sweet malty bourbon, woodiness, and some fruit. Almost get a wine like character in this dark ale, abv comes through but not like 12% a great blend ill have to have this again soon, im going to need a bigger sample. Bockyhorsey (1878), Mesa, Arizona, USA Jun 11, 2008 750ml bottle courtesy of eaglefan538. 10/07. Sweet molasas and bourbon alcohol aroma. Black body with tan head and head hand the rice kripees snap krale pop going on. Flavor was very alcoholic with bourbon giving the body a warming effect. Sweet molasas licorice and a dry coco flavor mixed together made this a very complexing brew. Wow another good brew by CL.
