Sep 14, 2006 Poured very dark brown almost black with a thick tan head. The first aroma I noticed was oak then a wine scent and some malts. The flavor of this beer is pretty complex with notes of chocolate, malts, wood, red wine, fruits, and brown sugar. It has a a nice body to it as well, very thick and creamy. The alcohol was hidden very well. Outstanding beer !

Aug 2, 2006 The first beer I ever loved! Smooth and strong with a complex but balanced flavor. You can taste the oak and feel the texture but it doesn’t dominate the malty sweetness or the Espresso/Chocolate tones.

Jul 25, 2006 Dark brown with a moderate tan head generating clingy lace. Huge aromas of rich caramel and chocolate milk. Chocolaty caramel flavours predominate, with an essence of dried fruit, raisins maybe. Moderately heavy mouthfeel. You cannot tell that this is 8% alcohol! Very very good.

Jul 20, 2006 22oz Bottle. Poured a dark brown with a very generous light brown head. Aroma is an expected malty aroma. Flavor is nutty. A nutty taste that starts from the beginning. Oak notes are also in the taste. The oak taste creates a dry finish. Not something memorable however a decent brew.

Jul 7, 2006 22 oz. Bottle: Clear brown color with a stiff light brown head. Sweet malty aromas. I could detect the alcohol. Nice flavor - sweet with a mild bitterness in the aftertaste. You can taste the alcohol and dark brown sugar with a thin crisp finish. Nice. Props to Indiana_Red.

Jun 16, 2006 Dark ruby hued beer out of the 12 oz bottle with a whispy beige head. Dark sweet nose of dried fruit and alcohol. This beer blossoms as it warms with lots of dark fruity flavors on top of burnt caramel and molasses sugars. Very nice double bock, with all the complex malt sweetness and not overpowered by the alcohol.
