Nov 13, 2009 A dark black beer with no head. The aroma was dark fruits, & alcohol giving it some characteristics of wine. The taste was grapes & was more like the peels of darker fruits. A sipper for sure for after dinner.

Nov 12, 2009 Draught. Snifter.
Appearance was very black, medium chestnut colored head with good staying power and nice lacing.
Smell was chocolate chips, the bitter kind that you use for baking.
Taste was slightly sweet, started with cocoa and progressed to coffee and then finished with a bit of smokiness.
Wonderful body.
This one should definitely be sought out.

Nov 11, 2009 11th May 2008. Jet black beer with no real head. Soft and smooth palate. Distinct banana and bubblegum tones riding over a lighly toasted malt background. Aromatic, almost minty vanilla note riding alongside. Different.

Nov 9, 2009 [Bottle] Pours a viscous looking deep brown with a medium frothy tan head. Aroma is slightly woody, lots of sweetness and alcohol, chocolate, and some ancho pepper. Flavor is super thick and quite sweet, like drinking thick, dry cocoa power, super chocolatey beer. The pepper is in there too, along with plentiful malt sweetness and alcohol.

Nov 9, 2009 [12oz bottle] Dark brown with a low tan head - this beer looks thick. Oak, vanilla, sweet dark fruity nose with some alcohol notes. Sweet and malty taste with little hop influence. Smooth and heavy mouthfeel, warming down the throat from the alcohol but quite drinkable.

Nov 9, 2009 Deep, dark brown color with a medium brown head. Sweet aroma with roasted malty smell. Definitely a boozy, sweet alcohol aroma that carries over slightly to the taste. Also a lot of sweet dark fruits and chocolatey bitterness. This is kind of a big beer but pretty drinkable I thought.

Nov 7, 2009 Poured into awesome Welch’s jam Curious George cup. Bottle thanks to my awesome brother and split it with him. Dark brown rootbeer colored pour but more opaque. No head really but a dark tan ring. Aroma is sweet malts. Flavor is the same plus a bit of bitter hop background, the aftertaste and the medium body is sweet, rosey and roasted tasting. Only very slightly warming down the throat given the high abv. Such a cool idea - I love that there’s a tree in the world you can shoot with a bullet and it won’t even penetrate it.
