As soon as I open the bottle I can smell the oak. Poured into snifter. This smells great. Smells of whiskey, vanilla, oak, chocolate, a hint of alcohol. Pours dark brown with a thin beige head that dissipates fast. Taste is basically what you’d expect from the smell. Malt, chocolate, coffee, vanilla and whiskey. Though not overly strong, the alcohol is evident. Mouthfeel is pretty thin. All in all this probably won’t make any favorite list of mine, but it was a pretty good beer that I would drink again.

Tasted from a 12oz bottle purchased at Discount Liquor about a year ago. Pours on opaque almost black, very dark chocolate brown with a bit of red tint and an average tan head that slowly recedes to nothing more than a thin collar of lace. The nose is very oaky with vanilla and cinnamon with some underlying caramel malt and a bit of roastiness. The flavor is the same, sweet vanilla and oaky cinnamon up front moving to some more malty and roasted nuts and finishing with a bit of chocolate bitterness. The body is medium with lively, mouth-filling carbonation, and a long oaky cinnamon and bitter chocolate finish.

Very strong caramel and smokey tones.. good hops, definitely a stout. Weak head. Pours very dark. Don’t think I’ve ever quite tasted one like this, the first sip to me tasted like carmel candy. It is a little sweet, but not overpowering. Aroma is smokey-sweet. All in all a good brew and I’m happy to buy this one when I find it on sale. I wouldn’t go out of my way to search for it though, it’s not that memorable.
