Sep 10, 2007 bottle - Pours black with a thin tan head. It smells mostly of roast malt plus a little coffee. The flavor is roasted malt with some chocolate and mild hops. Medium bodied and light on the carbonation, it goes down easy. I’m a little surprised this rates higher than the bourbon barrel version as I prefer that one.

Sep 7, 2007 Pours out dark red with minimal head. Aroma is chocolate malt with a hint of merlot smoothness. Thick and chewy definite chocolate malt in the taste, but very smooth as if drinking wine. Does not have a wine bite in the finish, but instead a faint roastiness. Very tasty.

Aug 29, 2007 Incredible, thick, beige/light-brown head. Chocolatey aroma, some menthe. Taste dense of chocolate and malt, without being too sweet.

Aug 29, 2007 Bottled. Dark/opaque pour with little head. Nose is charcoal and burnt caramel/bad 2 year old fruitcake with some alcohol coming through. Flavor is dark/roast malt with excessively sour finish. OK but limited in dimension. Overall quite unimpressive.

Aug 21, 2007 Bottle at the BrewHouse, in Norwalk CT. black as oil, off white head. Aroma was sweet with a nice roasted malt aroma, almost like a oatmeal stout. Some notes of dried fruits too. Flavor was little bit of a disappointment after the welcoming aroma. It was tasty but not as rich as i hoped. Still had nice dried fruit notes, cocoa and a slight hop finish. Found this to be better then the special reserve of this beer.

Aug 19, 2007 Bottled. Deep black beer with a lasting medium sized light brown head. Rich aroma of chocolate, dark malts and dried fruits. Sweet-ish with a roast note and a good bitterness for balance. Well balanced and wonderful beer
