Mar 28, 2006 Dark/tan and orange body. Maple syrup is strong in the nose with soy and rum. Sharp syrup think mouth. Flavour is complex with sweet maple, plum, brown sugar and dried fruits. Strong cola flavour. This beer sits on the fence between imperial stout and barelywine. Very sweet, most likely what sam adams triple bock wanted to be.

Mar 25, 2006 A superb beer! Dark garnet showing amber at the edges. Maple, figs, fusel alcohol. A touch of soy? Fruitcake. Rather sweet. This is what SATB wants to be. Yogurty sour milk in the nose, part of an acrid profile that reminds of baltic porters.

Jan 30, 2006 22 oz bottle, sampled 30 JAN 2006 (release date – 05/05/05): mostly diminishing head that leaves a very thin, wispy taupe head. Sweet, brown sugar aroma with malted, cherry raisins, blueberries, and soft woody smoke. Slight wine grape flavour and sweetness hits the tip of the tongue. Extremely dark mahogany with deep ruby highlights. Velvety smooth texture with mushy berries rounding out the palate. As it warms, the alcohol deepens and a lactic bitterness ensues.

Jan 6, 2006 RBSG 2005.
Head is mostly diminishing.
Body is dark brown.
Aroma is moderately malty (caramel, chocolate), with notes of plum, vanilla, candy sugar, wood.
Flavor is heavily sweet, lightly acidic, lightly bitter.
Finish is moderately sweet, lightly acidic, moderately bitter.
Medium to full body, velvety texture, soft carbonation.
Quite liked this one, though I didn’t expect to (wow, no pungent aromatic hops? yay!). Definitely want to have this again, but looks like that’s gonna be tough to do.

Nov 4, 2005 Devil’s night at Mullman’s. Sampled originally on the front steps of the convention center in Denver with EDA. Never rated it though. First off- this is a great new style- belgian barleywine. It is pretty much unlike any other beer I have had, yet has all the great characteristics of a great american BW, impy stout, and belgian strong ale. Pours a very very dark brown almost black with amber highlihgts, and a thin creamy head. Aroms is lightly spicy, but dominated by lots of dark and caramel malts, with lots of oak, wood, and vanilla. Flavor is nutty, sweet, lots of chocolate, dark caramel, plums raisin, figs, and a bit of alcohol has it warms. Very smooth overall and a great long lasting finish.

Nov 1, 2005 Devil’s Night At Mullman’s. Big thanks to Mullman for sharing this gem. Dark brown color with a small tan head. Aroma is really something. Mild bourbon,
sweet malt, molasses, and oak. Flavor of dark fruits, caramel malt, bourbon with a strange, but good tart finish.
Very nice beer!

Oct 31, 2005 Bottle: Courtesy of DarkElf via trade. Excellent aroma. Lots of malt. Caramel, toffee, banana bread, and light bourbon. Pours a very dark brown with slight red hilights when held to the light. Insignificant off-white head. Lots of caramel, toffee, and maple syrup up front. Moderatge bourbon with hints of roasted malt, chocolate, and light bitterness in the finish. I don’t get much burn as I would expect from such a big beer. Big mouthfeel. Thick and syrupy.
