Pours deep black into a snifter. Offwhite head recedes to hug rim leaving no lacing. Sweet smoke and dark caramel aromas. Slick engine oil upfront with a lasting peaty espresso finish.

Jun 28, 2008 A very dry beer with no hop presence. Lots of sweet malt in the aroma. Flavor is dry with more grain and very good smoke with peat. Dry flavor and dry on the palate with an earthy character. Very nice.

Jun 26, 2008 This delicious brew from Indianapolis, IN was marked bottle #12948 from Sept of 2007. It poured a fully diminished head that later miraculously foamed up to small then quickly disappeared. Never saw a brew do that before. The head was made up of fine to medium sized bubbles which left behind an opaque black colored body with no visible carbonation and a n oily lacing. The aroima was of mild whiskey and strong burnt malts. The mouth feel was strongly tingly and stout like from start to finish. The flavor contained notes of mild malts strong dark malts and mild whiskey.

Jun 14, 2008 Bottle 12227, 2007. Pour was pitch black, decent tannish colored head. Aroma is strong vanilla and tapioca notes w/ some chocolate underneath. The flavor is tapioca-vanilla, chocolate, light roast, enjoyable. Alcohol a little sharp, but the whiskey flavors do not over-run the beer. Neat stuff, short of great, though.
