3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Bottle in the parking lot at Dark Lord Day. Pours a cloudy brown with ruby highlights and a soapy looking tan head. Bourbon, phenols, and sweet caramel on the nose. Milky, sort of like a bourbon chocolate milk. Pudding flavors, very sweet. Definitely tastes like it has degraded some. Lots of oxidization.

Near black with ruby highlights, small off-white head. Malty aroma with a bit of caramel, notable oak and bourbon, and a touch of fruitiness. Sweet malty flavour with a complex oak character, and quite a bit of alcohol

Appearance: pours a dark brown with no head and no bubbles.
Aroma: Dark fruit: fig, raisin date. Apricot. Not any booze.
Taste. Dark chocolate alcohol cardboard, hazelnut, coconut.
Mouthfeel: Medium bodied modest carbonation.
Overall: Nothing like it was 6 years ago, obviously. I would suggest doing your "vertical" now.

Had during a 10-15 vertical on 11/20/11. Slightly cloudy, dark brown. Hardly any head at all. Sweet chocolate coffee smell. Really complex aroma. Tasks slightly sweet and very smooth. You can taste the alcohol come through almost like a bourbon. May be past its prime. But was still incredibly enjoyable.

651mL thanks to drowland and the Tally beer crew at Proof for sharing this rarity!. The pour is a clear, deep maroon with bubbles. No head formation. Nose is starchy, red fruits, tart berries, umami soy character, quite savory with saving graces of bourbon and maple. Taste is spicy, decent alcohol heat, mild ash and chalkiness. Big kick of alcohol in the mid. Chalk and mint in the finale. Big oxidized/minty quality. Not bad...probably not worth cellaring any longer.
