Sep 29, 2007 Bottle. Pours almost black with ruby highlights and a one finger mostly lasting tan head that leaves some lacing. Aroma of chocolate, light roasted malt, and light caramel. Taste is the same as aroma. Medium full creamy mouthfeel with a mild amount of bitterness. Very good.

Sep 27, 2007 9/26/07 From the bottle. Aroma is dark fruit with chocolate forward, followed by a good roast malt tone. Appearance is black with a medium tan head. Flavor is roast with some black patent forward, then slight sweetness and lots of chocolate. This has the mellowed and combined complexity of a well aged brew. Mouthfeel is medium bodied, grainy, with a dry finish and no warmth. Overall, this is very good and has great complexity with no clashing.

Sep 26, 2007 Pours an almost opaque black with no head. Nose is like old tar from a tree. Just very earthy and resin like. Raisins. Slight touch of dried out wood that still holds a fragrance. Flavor is smooth. Definite raisins there. Nice aged woody flavor. Thick with character. Feel is good. Slight bubble, but an otherwise thicker texture over the tongue. Very drinkable. More of a sipper, but a nice aged old ale.

Sep 13, 2007 11.2 oz bottle purchased at the Holiday Wine Cellar. The brew filled my glass as an opaque brown with a short lived layer of creamy foam topping. The initial aroma is a dark roasty malt presence with notes of fresh coffee. The drink is smooth and relaxed with a creamy texture and a flavoring of roast malt and coffee. Okay stuff to be had one or a couple of times.
