Jan 14, 2009 Got this from the brewery in Milton. Chocolate, caramel, and alcohol with a strong taste of Palo Santo wood. Only beer I’ve had with Palo Santo instead of something like Oak. A one of a kind beer. Very good.

Jan 13, 2009 Strong wood tannic nose, some jammy raspberry too. I’m diggin’ it! Super dark brown, just a ring of a head. Hot initially, melds into a woodsy, sweet, damp and charred work of art. weighted down in body, finishes inky and almost sticky. Good times.

Jan 12, 2009 Pours near black with a smallish dark tan head. The aroma is full of chocolate and caramel, very sweet and rich smelling. The taste is big chocolate and caramel as well, with a nice slightly bitter finish and a nice velvety texture. Very good.

Jan 11, 2009 Bottle purchased at Blind Tiger. Much darker pour than expected with very little head. Very different smell, which I’m assuming is coming from the aged wood. Taste of roasted malts with a bit of chocolate. Alcohol is well hidden which gives this a well balanced taste. Will definitely look to drink again.

Jan 11, 2009 American Strong Ale with dark full body, fruit aroma, solid head with coffee/chocolate malt and a subtle woodiness to PSM. I enjoyed it @ World Cafe Live Winterfest.

Jan 10, 2009 Bottle. Good aroma. Dark appearance. Great flavors. Can taste the alcohol. Very good beer, hard to find, I was skeptical about a big brown ale but it is one of the best.

Jan 10, 2009 Aroma is raisin, chocolate, nuts, malt, and alcohol. Pours a deep dark chocolate with a small, almost non-existent roasted brown head.
Interesting flavor. Somewhat smoky, somewhat fruity. Unique and polished experience. Just a touch of warmth. Nice, subtle yet bold flavor of sweet raisin and chocolate with a twist of smoke.
