Oct 24, 2009 bottle, pours black with a thin to medium tan head. Sour prune and black cherry aroma with some cocoa and port wine. Roasted malt and dark bitter malt body lots of whiskey heat and flavor with some vanilla and oakyness. Nice, but I would love to see if the 16 or 30 are smoother.

Oct 22, 2009 2007 bottle poured a dark brown bordering black with a ring of creamy dark tan head. aroma has molasses, bourbon soaked oak, raisin, vanilla, alcohol, and some campfire smoke. big, sweet, and boozy. mouth feel is a medium with a thick oily texture. flavor has a whack of smoke upfront, roasted malt, whiskey soaked barrel, light bitterness, and some earthy dark fruit. the flavor levels off in the sweetness department but the booze is there across the board.

Sep 26, 2009 bottle number 25701/sep 07, smells and looks great, deep black color and soapy white head, smell was whisky, and burnt...not sure what the deal with the flavors were...lots of burnt wood...tastes like they pureed a burnt matchstick in whiskey and not much else...i have 3 more of this lineup to drink and hope it improves as i work my way up in numbers.

Sep 21, 2009 11.2oz bottle 07693 September 2007. Pours clear but very dark slightly red dark brown with a small somewhat creamy tan fizzy froth. Aroma is fruity, roasty and woody, light chocolate, hint of acidity, the whiskey has subsided quite a bit since my latest sampling a year ago. Flavor is chocolatey whiskey, really balanced out now, balanced subdued sweetness and bitterness, lightly grassy, light yeast fruitiness, whisky and cream. Long charred wood and peated scotch aftertaste. Medium/full bodied, dry feeling and smooth creamy chalky, very soft fizzy carbonation. It’s more balanced now but I suppose I’m thinking I like it more whisky forward.
mesperon (133), Jersey City, New Jersey, USA
Sep 12, 2009 Bottled Sept. 2007. Deep dark brown, almost black, dark ruby at the edges, thick bubbly tan head that disappates a little. The whisky is obvious on the nose, as well as ripe sweet cherries, dark roast, chocolate. Surprisingly mellow flavor. Somewhat watery mouthfeel. Crisp at the beginning, damp malt, muted chocolate and mild roast. The alcohol is evident as it passes across the tongue, and the whiskey is noticeable in the warm finish. Oakey taste when you look for it. Disappointingly mellow and empty. Peaty bitterness is left on the tongue for a while. Maybe it needed to age more...or less.
