Bottled. Aroma has strong maltiness, prunes, raisins, wine. Hazy, dark brown coloured with an off-white head. The taste is bitter, sweet and very massive, full bodied. Has some fruitiness, wine, roasted malts and some oak. Loads in it. A bit too much of everything for me. Nice experiment.

Draught. Pitch black colour, hardly any head. Sweet very roasty dark fruity alco aroma. Sticky mouthfeel. The flavour is quite sweet with lots of roasted malt and caramel, alcohol, some spice, dark fruits and liquorice. quite sweet and too much alcohol present but a good nighty night beer.

UPDATED: DEC 27, 2008 Bottled, courtesy of NoiZe. Much appreciated! Dark brown colour, tiny off-white head. Aroma has sour fruits and roasted malts. Flavour has liquorice, oak and red fruits. Nice bitter-sweetness, endless finish. Excellent beer!
Rerate: heavy and sour flavours. Too much going on in this beer. Didnt quite work for me this time. -0.6

At a tasting in Shachar’s house, thanks DSG, bottle, bottled 8/25/08, cellared 12/2/08, pours dark brown color with a dark off-white head that dissipates quickly, malt aroma, coffee, chocolate and slightly sour flavor, coffee aftertaste, medium body, and overall a very good beer.

750mL c&c thanks to Noize. Poured a clearish deep brown to red. Thick coffee head. Diminishing. Nose is pretty complex and requires about 30 minutes to decant/aerate to bring out complexities. Black pepper is the first note right off the bat followed minutes later by toffee, candied pecans, graham cracker, overripe dark fruits. Taste is a little bit earthy/dirty with cracked peppercorn, spices. Very soft palate. 13% is evident from walking around like an idiot but not found in the mouthfeel/palate or taste. Not sure what the blend is on this one but would be interesting to know. H&V most definitely but perhaps a DIPA in there as well?
