Mar 20, 2009 Poured a beautiful raisin-y amber with a thin off-white head that stuck around the edges of the beer throughout. Aroma is raisins, brown sugar, soy sauce, and alcohol. Flavor is much of the same, without letting the soy become overpowering as in the Sam Adams Imperial Stout. Thick palate with a lasting sticky finish and alcohol burn that was surpisingly not that bad. Loved this beer!

Mar 13, 2009 This is one big Son-of-a-bitch. Big pour with the color of a dead leaf in the fall. ginormus swett aroma of sugar, vanilla, coconut and dark fruits. lots of sediment with a nice one finger off white head. holy hell it burnsgoing down....not in a bad way though....and the taste is alot of the same as the aroma, but the roasted malts tend to come out at the end. the finish is very long hops, malts and coffee all peek thier head out on a long finish. solid pour for sure.

Mar 8, 2009 2006 bottle. Cloudy orange red, virtually no head. Very sweet. The raisins are front and center. as is quite a bit of bourbon an vanilla. Very heavy and verging on cloying with the sweetness. Not a bad beer by any stretch, but also a bit of chore to drink.

Mar 7, 2009 12 oz bottle: Poured opaque red with a very thin minimal head. Smells of raisins, malt, and alcohol. Flavor of dates, raisins, and malt. Thick in the mouth and alcohol not too over powering. I really enjoyed this and found it very pleasant to drink.

Mar 6, 2009 Updated: Apr 23, 200912oz bottle. Been looking forward to/dreading this bad boy for awhile. Ruby brown-red color, opaque. No head. Hardcore raisin and cognac aroma. Reminiscent of a Quad in some ways, the raisins work well to smooth it out. Somehow doesn’t finish harshly, fairly remarkable. The aroma really seems harsh to me, makes me wonder how this would be fresh. Syrupy and thick, this is above par for the huge ABV, but I still find it a little odd and harsh.
