Aug 9, 2008 (6/29/08) Bottle sample at RBESG08 grand tasting in Plzen. Dark brown with a beige head. Aroma is quite malty with lots of flowery, slightly citric tones and light roastiness. Malty caramelly flavor with light roasted notes, hints of coffee and bitter hoppiness in the finish as well as notes of alcohol. Medium to full-bodied.

Jul 28, 2008 Bottle @ Dutch Ratebeer Session. Aroma is earthy and full of different aromas: fruits (raisin, cherry), sherry/bourbon/madeira. Opaque, brown coloured beer with a short head. It has an oily look. Taste is sweet and is a wave of different aromas like raisin, wood, madeira, vanilla, chocolate. Fantastic brew.

Jul 20, 2008 Incredibly good and glad I was able to try a bottle (thanks Walt). Pours a dark brown with almost no head. Nice aroma of some dark fruit. Amazingly smooth, and incredible at hiding the 11.5% ABV. Absolutely delicious. Although the bourbon is ranked slightly lower, I think I liked it a little more.
