Bottle into chalice. Pours opaque black with a thin tan head. Aroma is coffee, cocoa and vanilla, hints of brown sugar and raisin, alcohol. Taste is vanilla and oak, toffee, cocoa, nuts, raisin, with definite spicy alcohol presence. Finishes with coffee, oak, alcohol, sweet and syrupy. Mouthfeel is smooth, heavy body, low carbonation, sticky.

Aug 20, 2008 Pours to a pitch black, thick in body and a small tan head, the strength of this beer is the smooth, malty taste balanced with a wood taste, not overpowering nor leave any bitter after taste that lingers like other beers while at the same time, hiding the 12% alc. Great beer,

Aug 20, 2008 Really dark brown to black pour with pretty caramel head of tiny bubbles. Great lacing. Surprisingly sweet smell, but a solid roasted backbone. Sweet and creamy in the mouth. Huge and bold, not unlike alot of Dogfish offerings. Alot of smoke in the finish, which was interesting and set this beer apart kind of. Huge malt and sugars. Very good.
