May 4, 2009 Oh my. Dogfish head has gone and done it again. When they do malty, they really do malty. What a scrumptious caramel candy of a brew. Hops is there to balance, but this is all about the sweetness. Definitely a special occasion favorite from here on out.

May 3, 2009 Wicked caustic. Smell is spread in a 3-foot are, pitch black with minimal translucency, taste and smell of burnt smoked wood and meat. Bitter coffee and bitter chocolate. Really fun.

May 2, 2009 Dark brown pour with khaki head. Aroma of roasted malt, coffee, chocolate, fruit. Taste the same, however some smoke definitely comes into play. Lingering hop finish at the tail end. Definitely would revisit this strong ale, damn drinkable beer for 12%!

May 2, 2009 Bottled on 2-11-08, cellared for a little over a year.
A- Pours a deep brownish-black hue with very little tan colored head.
S- Very sweet and malty, dark fruits, caramel.
T- Tastes like a souped up brown ale, roasted malt, coffee notes, bit of a burnt flavor, thick malty sweetness that rolls over the palate towards the end and stays there. seems to be fairly acidic. Others have said they taste a lot of vanilla but I find that it is masked my the intense sweetness and burnt character.
M- Semi-thick, low on carbonation. It coats the mouth with a sticky sweetness that I don’t necessarily enjoy.
D- This is an excellent beer to sip on. Definitely one to savor however I just don’t know how much I enjoy it. I find that big beers can be really hit or miss for me and this one was a little off target from my taste.

May 1, 2009 Dark brown body with a tight brown head. Rich chocolate malty aroma with a bit of vanilla and dark fruit. Smooth, creamy palate. Big, smooth roasted malt flavor with chocolate, vanilla, dark fruit. Lingering chocolate and alcohol aftertaste.

Apr 30, 2009 Bottle - 12oz. Poured dark with a small head. Whoever decided to age the beer in Palo Santo wood was a genius. This brew is smooth, and even though it is 12%, it does not have a boozy taste. I think this is what Heaven tastes like.

Apr 30, 2009 A deliciously strong brown ale. Very woody flavor. Served cold from bottle. Pours dark brown with a small tan head. Very malty aroma and great roasted vanilla taste. I like it a lot.
