Jan 21, 2009 Draft @ Capone’s Dec ’08: Poured a dark brown color with a tan head. The aroma was sweet malts, chocolate and alcohol. The flavor was tasty, with chocolate, caramel, dark fruits, roasted malts, and toffee. Overall, one of my favorites from DFH.

Jan 20, 2009 12oz bottle. Almost black with a small tan head. Sweet and boozy aroma with chocolate, berries, and vanilla. Smooth and woody flavor with a light roast, sweet caramel and vinous fruity accents. Full and smooth, with a bit of warmth in the finish, but overall very well concealed alcohol. This was great stuff.

Jan 19, 2009 Color is a near black brown with light carbonation and a tight dark brown head. Aroma is a sweet malty scent with a roasted back tone. Taste is rich and sweet. Starting with a bold medium body it goes down with a heavy rich feel. Finish comes in sweet and toasted with caramel and vanilla then a raw oak like taste comes in. After taste is a little sharp as the wood taste comes out more and the alcohol show. Overall this is a good brew, its big and bold.

Jan 19, 2009 Pours with very little head. Good carbonation. Very rich with great complexity. A surprising amount of flavor and very enjoyable with no hint of its gravity.

Jan 17, 2009 Pours a thick tan head with streaked laceing along the sides of the glass, and the color is a dark brown. The nose is nice and woody with some roasted malt and you can almost smel thefloral hops. Initially the flavor is nice and smooth and has a creamy texture. There is the presance of dark fruits with an oak finish to the brew. Overall it has just the right blend of spice, wood, malt and fruits balanced with the right amount of carbonation.

Jan 17, 2009 Draft. Thick brown pour with a nice tan head. Some chocolate, coffee, and some caramel. You can sense the alcohol in both the aroma and taste. A hint of wood aging in the taste. Some chocolate and spice in the taste. Pretty good!

Jan 17, 2009 Updated: Mar 8, 2009Opaque brown-black pour. A thick bubbling tan leaves a moderate lacing. Aromas of yeast, vanilla, fruit, and spices. First impression on the tongue is sweet, yeasty, and fruity, peaches and gumballs. The mid-palate features caramelized malts, cinnamon, and alcohol, and then comes a slightly bitter woody finish. Medium bodied and powerfully warming.

Jan 15, 2009 aroma of wood and chocolate, coffee, cinnamon, and alcohol; opaque body with small and thick brown head and minimal lacing; smooth, kick’n, and spicy strong ale that is quite stout--very good, somewhat interesting, and original due to its 20 blocks of the super-dense wood... yeaup.
