aroma: hard smell to describe. thick chewy black stout.. a small hint of whiskey.. i think. it smells good, just dont have words for it.. not coffee.. not chocolate.. not dark fruits.. maybe leather.
flavor: WOW, strong powerful wash of leather and oak and dark malt.. not to bitter, not to sweet.. odd.. very odd. the more i drink the less i like it. this is odd and kinda abusive. taste more like the memory of a grandfather than a drink.
palate: thin.. to thin. to many bubbles.
overall: the acidic bitter finish is not good. the richness gives way to bitter pain. this is all wrong.

Nov 30, 2008 Black pour with nice ring but small head. Aroma is definitely whisky in nature, with bitter chocolate flavor up front, finishing with molasses and malt.

Oct 30, 2008 Rich aroma with orangish and chocolaty accents, some mild dried fruits, caramelized sugar, liquorice, and woodiness. Dark brown with minimal head. Rich woody flavor of good long duration. Not a lot of complexity. Some brown sugar, chocolate, smoke. Single pleasant note stays on the tongue a long time. Carbonation is mild. Palate is smooth, not too heavy, but thick enough. Drying slightly on the finish. A decent winter warmer before bed.

Oct 25, 2008 Bottle. Number 06568 from Sept. 2007. Opaque dark brown pour with mahogany edges. No head to really speak of on this. Soy sauce, raisins, burnt barbecue sauce, caramel, molasses, and wet wood in the aroma. Taste is vanilla, molasses, wood, raisins, light soy sauce and some smoke. Body is light and creamy. Very soft, almost faint carbonation. Finishes with more soy sauce, caramel, burnt barbecue sauce, molasses, dark chocolate, and oak. Nice!
