Oct 13, 2009 Noire opaque avec reflet rougeâtre. Très peu de mousse. Arômes de malt chocolat, de boisé et de brûlé. Bière complexe, offrant des saveurs de chocolat, de boisé, de brûlé et d’alcool qui est bien présent. Légères touches de caramel et de vanille également présentes.

Oct 12, 2009 Great stuff. Very distinct malty roasted flavor. Not over powering flavor and very drinkable.

Oct 11, 2009 Bottle. Pours a very dark brown with a small light tan head that diminishes
quickly to nothing leaving decent spotty lacing along the glass. The aroma is
a strong roasted malt and alcohol with chocolate and cherry. Thin mouthfeel with a roasted malt taste and chocholate and brown sugar. Alcohol well hidden making it very easy to drink. A very impressive American strong ale from Dogfish Head.

Sep 30, 2009 Pours thick and a deep mahogany with a stout like creamy head. I smell chocolate, coffee and of course the wood. Picking up licorice as it warms Medium to full body like a porter or stout. tatses sweet with espresso, cocoa and dried fruit. More like a stout than an American ale. Pretty intense flavors mask the alcohol well.

Sep 29, 2009 Dark brown and very malty. very harsh on the back end with alcohol. almost competing against the lovely malt taste.

Sep 28, 2009 Bottle. [thank you Skortila/ceasar]
Pours deep brown with a small, staying, frothy, beige head. Lovely woody aroma, nicely roasted, chocolate, raisins, tobacco and coffee. Medium carbonation, fine lightly creamy mouthfeel. Flavour is rather sweet and sugary. Coffee, roasted, chocolate, oak, bourbon, vanilla. Warming alcohol sensation at the end. Very nice sipper, but it just a tad to sugary for my liking.
