(12oz bottle) Purchased from Bottleworks for $1.49. Nose of spiced coffee and bourbon. Wonderful deep, near opaque body. Flavour is malted with a strange spice and chocolate. Great boozy mouthfeel and hoppy finish. Very good.

Darker brown with a creamy head. Aroma is molasses with some vanilla and a touch of oak. Sweet upfront with a real rich flavour of peaty malts and roasted malts. Drys as it goes down with the woody and spicey flavour. A nice beeer.

<b>On Tap</b> at the Front Door in Boise, ID. Deep dark brown witha full lasting beige head. Lots of lacing coats the glass. Hoppy and dark cohocoalte woody malt aroma. Lots of toffee and moderate roast flavors. Just enough hoip bitterness to balance and a full smooth feel especially as it warmed up a bit.. Very nice.

&#40;Bottle thanks to BuckeyeBoy&#41; Smooth and creamy palate, butting against a woody hop flavor and bitterness. Oak and vanilla are prominent &#40;this isn’t oak aged is it?&#41;. Rich malty, nutty base with a searing bitterness running all over it. cherry and hazelnut transition into coffee and cocoa. Palate is wonderfully smooth and silky, almost a nitro like veel to it, without the flavors being covered up. the flavors don’t all mesh perfectly, but the complexity is impressive. Certainly a unique beer, and defintiely one I wish I could get my hands on more often.

Courtesy of Degarth. Pours clear deep copper with tan head and spotty lacing. I love the bold aroma of roasty malts mixed with buttered wheat toast and a hint of hops. The taste is very nice with highly roasted malts, a hint of burnt malts and a sprinkle of pine hop bitterness before another big pulse of roasty malted goodness blankets the experience. There is also a brief dark fruitiness, more pin hop bitterness and a thin layer of butteryness into the finish.
