Jan 14, 2009 12 oz bottle. Dark black/brown with a brown head which collapsed quickly. Aroma is malty, a tang of sweetness and alcohol. Mouthfeel is nice and dense, really coats the mouth. Taste is a little charred malt, some chocolate, nice bitterness with a slight alcohol bite. Pretty good, very original.

Jan 14, 2009 Poured from the bottle a dark brown with one finger tan head with a fairly aggressive pour. Aroma is caramel, berry, vanilla, and earth (probably from the wood). Flavor was rich with sweet malts, roasted malts, light fruit, caramel, vanilla, and some lingering hops. Full bodied, but not heavy. Smooth and very drinkable, really nice when it warmed a bit. The alcohol was barely noticeable. Very unique, very good.

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.
