Apr 20, 2008 Bottle. Pours black with thick dark beige head. Aroma is rather light, of hops with a hint of chocolate and coffee. Flavor is hoppy with hints of chocolate. I can even sense a slight hint of oaks at the very beginning, especially when compared to the non-aged version that I tried just yesterday. Has a moderately long and very smooth finish of hops and coffee. Yet I give it the same score as the non-aged version because of the not so strong aroma.

Apr 20, 2008 22 oz. bomber. Pours a thick, oily black with a caramel colored head. Leaves a nice lacing on the glass. It almost has a redness to it when held up to intense light. The mouthfeel is nice, but not as thick as it appears. There is chocolate malt in the nose along with some vanilla notes. The flavor is very roasty with coffee and chocolate. Hopiness is definitely present, and the finish is somewhat bitter. Very nice warming effect. I had a friend try this (he is a "coors light is the #$%&" type of guy) and he commented that it "tastes like worcestershire sauce!" Thought that was funny.

Apr 20, 2008 22oz. Bottle. Pours deep blackish brown with a fairly nice brown head. Aroma is chocolate and coffe. Taste is a very deep and appealing malt with vanilla and oak. This beer dances on your palate. The balance of alcohol an hops is nicely executed.

Apr 19, 2008 Black body with a firm coffee head. Aroma deepens with aeration into a wonderful, complex chocolate and bourbon coffee roast with a vinousness. The flavor is similar and with a nice woodiness. Tastes like a bourbon barrel aged beer with a definite vanilla note. Nicely accomplished.

Apr 18, 2008 Bottle. Pour is thick black and oily, with a two finger brown head that lasts for a short time and leaves heavy lacing around the glass. Aroma is large, oak, coffee, roasted malt, chocolate, vanilla, and caramel dancing nicely off of one another. Taste is very smooth with notes of malt, coffee, chocolate, and oak really taking the forefront while the vanilla, oak, and caramel play gleefully in the background. Wonderful stout that will be a favorite of mine for years to come.

Apr 17, 2008 Pours a beautiful black with a thick brown head. Astonishing nose of malt, chocolate, vanilla, and coffee. Amazing flavors of malt, chocolate, roasted coffee, and just about anything else you might imagine in a stout. Probably the best stout I have had this year. Seek this out.

Apr 16, 2008 Pours deep black with lacy brown head. Aromas of rosted malt, alcohol, and chocolate. Flavors of coffee, chocolate, oak, malt, and alcohol. Intense brew here. Great flavors for a stout, like it should be.
