Commercial Description:
A fierce dark ale, berserker lives up to its name and more. In-your-face malt meets up with molasses and other strength-boostening sugars to create a brawny brew of fortitude and flavor. Enhanced by months of aging in oak whiskey casks, berserker is potent yet exquisitely graceful.

Bottle sampled in mid-June ’06: Pours a rich oily opaque black with a well-lacing frothy dark tan brownish head. Rich, sweet caramel chocolate and roasted malt aroma has a nice raisin, plum, and soy sauce character along with some doughy yeasty notes. Body starts with some sweet toasty caramel and chocolate maltiness along with good dark fruity complexity and a thinner, but flavorful silky dark chocolate finish. A nice imperial stout that would be great with a little more malt, but still very well done, although I didn’t sense too much of the barrel-aged character.

22oz bottle acquired in trade with puzzl (thanks!!!). 2007 vintage. Poured a dark black color with an averaged sized light brown head. Aromas of roast, vanilla, chocolate, oak, light coffee, and dark fruits. Tastes of roast, vanilla, wood, dark fruits, and chocolate. Creamy and smooth body. Alcohol content well hidden. Nice.

Poured black with a medium brown head that thins out very quickly. Burnt caramel (in a good way) aroma with plenty of chocolate and sweet roasty malt. Also fruity with a large amount of what smells like dough. Nice complexity with some alcohol notes showing through. Big roasty flavor with some chocolate notes. Didn’t really seem as complex as the aroma led me to believe it would be. The mouthfeel was nice and silky but felt a little thin as it finished.

Dark black beer. Rich sweet dark malty aroma. Chocolate, cocoa, leather and rich chewy malts. Earthy and cherry fruitiness. Lovely rich brew.
