Commercial Description:
Our all malt, high gravity creation is around 20% alcohol by volume and hits the palette with many complex flavors. Aged for six months in charred oak rum casks, the finished product is extremely smooth.

Corked and waxed bottle poured a clear copper brown with no head (still). Aromas of prune, dates, figs, rum, carmel, vanilla and hints of spice. Palate was full bodied and smooth with a wartming finish. Flavors of carmel, molasses, dark rum, dates, vanilla and hints of coconut and spice with a smooth warming lingering semisweet finish.
A bit pricy but a truly amazing beer!

[Colorado Road Trip – 2006] A deep reddish amber color with no head. This pours into a snifter as a good cognac would. What a flavor of this beer. It was sweet high in alcohol over 20%. This was a sipping nectar and was so good the honey flavors and the deep spices where awesome. Try this for sure. I want a few bottles when this comes out.
