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.

Jan 10, 2009 (bottle - 12 oz) Dark black pour with a thick tan head. Aroma is very sweet with lots of caramel and oak. Some alcohol. Flavor is very sweet and strong with lots of alcohol., malts, candy, dough, and a random taste of paint thinner at the end. Alcohol is very present and doesn’t hide well at all.

Jan 8, 2009 Updated: Mar 4, 2009Bottle. Aggressive pour results in a dark black brew with a 4 finger foamy tan head. Nose is dark malt, brown sugar, cocoa, dark fruit and booze. Taste is dark chocolate, wood, vanilla, biscuity yeast and a touch of hops/alcohol in the finish. Medium creamy mouth feel. Tastes like a cross between an old ale, a stout and a barley wine. Complex and tasty.

Jan 7, 2009 Pours a visibly viscous oily black with a thin mocha head with decent retention. It has a smokey, meaty nose with hints of molasses, oak and citric hops. The flavour is decadently rich and full with coffee, soy, oaky vanilla, meat, spruce-like hops, dried fruits and heavily roasted malt. The palate is syrupy and sticky, but not chalky. Booze is well hidden for the abv and the palate duration is very long. Well-matched tingly and soft carbonation. Whew its complex and intense. A quality sipper
