750ml bottle vintage 06/07. Thanks to the infamous Fyrecrakker for this one! Dark pour with a nice chestnut colored head. Roasted malts and light oxidized aroma. Roasted malts, coffee, and fruit up front. Creamy chocolate finish. This was a very solid beer in a style im not really into anymore.

750ml bottle from a trade many years ago that I can’t seem to figure out who this was from. So about 2 years old. Pours a dark black with a tan head. Dark and rich aroma that has aged well. Roasted molasses, bourbon, dark fruit aromas with slight notes of oxidation. Molasses is heavy but balanced well in the flavor as well with coffee, chocolate, roasted malts, dark fruits with a syruppy sweetness that fades to a dry roast. Nice brew.

Thanks to peter for this one. Black pour with a chocolatey brown head. Hops, chocolate coffee and soy sauce on the nose. Very good lacing. Flavor of coffee and bittersweet chocolate with astringent bitter finish and a creamy mouth.

Bottle thanks to Holdenn. About two years old. Opaque black with dark tan to brown head, dirty and clings to the side of the glass. Oxidized aroma that actually isn’t that bad, with chocolate, cherry, Oidized flavor that comes off as cherry and port with chocolate, roasted malt, very nice. Big and thick body, syrupy. Very tasty, nice oxidation notes, chocolate, this is fantastic.

Bottle shared by Sparky27...THANKS ERIC!!! Ebony color doesn’t allow a shred of light to pass through and the 1/4 inch khaki head spotted the inside of the glass. This one has a ton of dark fruit, chocolate, and brown sugar in the nose but also has a barrel quality to it. Are you sure there isn’t any bourbon in there??? Burnt caramel, oak, and noticeable alcohol accompany cocoa and coffee. Oil slick in the mouth...tasty!!!
