wilderthanyou (411), Guelph, Ontario, Canada Oct 28, 2009 Pours a motor oil black with a short lived beige head. Aroma is sweet, chocolate, raisin, maybe some cherry, alcohol, light roast coffee. The flavour is a reflection of the aroma spot on, anise in the finish rounds this delicious beer of nicely. Warming alcohol sensation. Top notch, god bless you dogfish head. DSG (1501), Tel Aviv, Israel Oct 28, 2009 Bottle sample at a tasting. Thanks David C. Really dark brown with a light brown head. Strong aroma of sweet chocolate. Sweet and alcoholic flavor with chocolate, some nuts, some licorice and some slightly strange fruitiness. Full-bodied and boozy. Decent but overpowering. tomer (365), Rishon Le Zion, Israel Oct 27, 2009 At a tasting, thanks David, quickly dissapearing beige head, colour is dark brown and quite opaque but with some lightish taints, aromas of maple, dried frutis, and some oxidised notes, flavours of dried fruits, charcoal and chocolate. Much too sweet and alcoholic, and quite unbalanced. Cavie (1318), Fort Worth, Texas, USA Oct 25, 2009 Bottle courtesy of brentfresh. Dark brown pour. Sweet aroma. Fruit and sweet plum. Taste is sweet dry with heavy malts. Tingle on the tongue. Flavor finishes sadder than the Belgian strong I had previous. r464 (285), Allentown, Pennsylvania, USA Oct 25, 2009 Very dark, very strong. This is a very deep-flavored ale with a lot of coffee, raisin, cherry, and smokey textures. One to be enjoyed slowly on a cold evening… zvikar (414), Tel-Aviv, Israel Oct 25, 2009 Thanks David for sharing this one, pours brown opaque with a chocolate color small head, aroma of chocolate, grapes, raisins, cherries, burbon and wood, thick texture, flavors of coffee, cardboard, cherry liquor, scotch and bitter pleasant finish, medium bodied, alcohol is a bit too high. Nice beer Fratto (670), Arlington, Texas, USA Oct 25, 2009 Bottle from Cavie. Dark brown pour. Fruit and chocolate aroma. Roasted malts, chocolate, and a little smoke flavor. bigguns22 (88), Maryland, USA Oct 23, 2009 Pours black with foming head like expresso. "Huge beer" best spit among friends. Complex flavers of licorice,anisitte,coffee and smoke meats. Palate lingers and leaves you fulfulled.
