3.6 AROMA 9/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Wonderful vanilla, oak, and smoke aroma. Taste was a little too overpoweringly alcoholic and smoky. Those were somewhat unappealing and dominated the pleasant oak and vanilla flavors. One of the most complex beers i have had, yet just not one of my favorites.

Very interesting. Pretty amber/brown color, with a moderate head that doesn’t stick around. Scent is of alcohol and pine tar, but not necessarily in a bad way (whatever that means). Licorice, oak, maple syrup, and a whole bunch of other things. Very interesting brew. I’m pretty sure I liked it.

There are a number of references to the indescribability of the beer. Let me try - BAD. It is like they threw in every ingredient including the kitchen sink and hoped for the best - they got the worst.

Nice deep amber color, beige head and generous lace, a bazillion tiny bubbles a sign of a great beer. The nose woody, the oak evident, along with malt under tones, orangey? can’t quite get some of this highly aromatic brew. The start sweet and the oaky malt sweetness hits you immediately, the top if full, the finish hop bitter and alcohol dry. A winter tummy warmer to be sure and quite unique as beers go. Not a beer that the average drinker will fancy is my opinion, but I like it a lot.

I’m a stout guy. Nearly all my reviews are of stouts. This is a worthy exception. First off, this is HIGHLY alcoholic. This is EXTREMELY aromatic. This is Powerfully flavorful. It is also, however, quite an acquired taste. It’s like nothing else I’ve had. Mike a symphony of flavors. Did that sound cheesy? Well, get ahold of this and you’ll understand. Lock up those car keys before imbibing on this beer!

’Vast in Character’ just like the label says, this beer has me interested. I can’t describe it. Try it and you tell me.

I didn’t enjoy this beer very much. It was OK. It was cloudy and almost good. What does that mean, I don’t know. It was on my sheet though.
3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
The overpresence of alcohol was my turnoff for this beer.
3.4 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
A low masking of the alcohol taste and the overall thinness of the beer really depleated my score. Great woodsy aroma.
3.1 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
An overwhelming alcohol taste.
