snakeoilpete (324), Seattle, Washington, USA Jun 11, 2009 On tap at Naked City. Pours Black with a large, foamy tan head. Nutty, malty, spicy aroma with a hint of alcohol. Roasty, earthy brown sugar malt taste. Full bodied and smooth. Buttery, spicy, woody finish. bobbypaulson (100), , Minnesota, USA Jun 10, 2009 This is the kind of beer that you can’t get anywhere else. If you are looking for a beer that is undeniably unique try this beer. Pour a very dark brown with a brown head. Smell is of sweet toasty sugar like a sweet BBQ. The taste is vanilla and maple and finishes warm like a good bourbon. pet3rman (206), Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, USA Jun 10, 2009 Bottle- Pours dark with small brown head.. Nice lacing.. Fantastic vanilla and caramel flavor.. Some toffee notes. Almost oaky. Nice mouthfeel, lasting finish. One of the good ones. yemenmocha (344), Glendale, Arizona, USA Jun 8, 2009 Pours near black, and opaque, with small brown head that doesn’t retain long.
Nose has an herbal tea, Cuisine of India aroma to it, with oaky flavors in the background.
Palate wise it is noticeably syrupy in body, with gooey roasted malt & maple up front, balanced by tartness from wood and hops. Carbonation carries through nicely and somehow the alcohol is entirely disguised. chandler0201 (341), Durham, North Carolina, USA Jun 8, 2009 Dark brown pour with thick lighter brown head. Oaked aroma and flavor, with spicy notes. Flavor is very complex with fruits, molasses and hoppy bite. Alcohol is present though it is not too overpowering. vtafro (452), , New Jersey, USA Jun 5, 2009 Bottle. Was very disappointed in this beer. First beer from dfh that was not enjoyable. Couldn’t even finish this six pack. PaulHegedus (459), Georgetown, Ontario, Canada Jun 4, 2009 Bottle. This is a very dark brown colour with a big thick light brown head. The aroma is earthy, peaty with anise seed, clove. Very inviting! The mouthfeel is thick, smooth, a bit sticky on the tongue. The flavour is full of wood, oak with old style black licorice, molasses, a hint of dark candy sugar, some dark berries, green hops, alcohol. The alcohol really overwhelms the rest of the flavour, which is unfortunate considering how unique and complex this beer is. stchloe (477), Portland, Oregon, USA Jun 4, 2009 The head is gorgeous, bubbles and roils just above the surface, you can watch the ale just form. Tastes like bourbon, sweet malty, alcoholic bourbon. Definetly a strong brown flavor, tons of roasted notes, takes you for a trip.
