| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Oct 19, 2009 Dark brown, thick, viscous, tan head that recedes quickly but laces nicely. Lots and lots of oakiness from the bespoke palo santo. Doesn’t make much of an effort to hide its alcohol content, but that isn’t so much to its detriment. ALCOHOLNIZM (61), WARWICK, USA
| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 17/20 | Oct 18, 2009 I WAS SLIGHTLY INTIMIDATED BY THIS BEER WHEN I RECIEVED IT FROM THE DOGFISH BREWERY IN A VARIETY PACK, NOT ONLY BECAUSE IT IS 12%ALC BUT ALSO BECAUSE IM NOT SUPER HIGH ON OAK AGED BEERS NOR IM I THAT FOND OF MALT BEVERAGES. HOWEVER, ONCE AGAIN DOGFISH HAS PLEASANTLY SUPRISED ME. THIS BEER POURS A ROUBUST BLACK WITH NO HEAD IT ACTUALLY LOOKS LIKE FLAT SODA AND HAS A STUNNING RAISIN TYPE AROMA ALMOST LIKE A WINE. THE FLAVORS, LIKE THE SMELL AND LOOK, IS ALSO QUITE ROBUST YET NOT OVER POWERING,THE SWEET FLAVOR IS OF ROASTED MALTS, UNSWEETEND CHOCOLATE, SLIGHT VANILLA AND TANGY LICORICE WHICH IS WELL BALANCED WITH CARBONATION THAT ADDS A LITTLE BITE ON THE TOUNGE , IVE HAD A FEW OTHER BEERS THAT WERE SIMILAR TO THIS ONE (EX: THEW BEAST) AND THIS ONE IS BY FAR MORE ENJOYABLE.. NOT RECOMENDED FOR A NIGHT OUT AT THE BAR, BUT QUITE A GOOD AFTER DINNER BEER.
