[Batch 4, bottled November 2002, Sampled November 2004] A pitch black beer with a huge brown head. The aroma is sweet malty with notes of coffee and alcohol. The flavor is very sweet with notes of coffee, chocolate and prunes, but also hints of infection.

Black. Big nose - roasty, woody, burnt fruits. Lots of roast, smooth malts. Good stout, but not living up to the hype IMO (and Radek's).

(Nov. 2002) Black, slightly oily with small brown head. Aroma is mild sweet, some wood, vinous, some chocolate, light vinegar. Taste is mild sweet, vinous, cherry, chocolate. Medium-full body. Good beer, but not a Top 50 in my bood -- I like my cask-aged beers to demonstrate more characteristics of the underlying beer -- this one has too much wine and too little imperial stout.
