Oct 31, 2005 Shared at Mullman’s Devil’s Nite Bash. Wow is right! Smelled and looked like an Impy stout. Lots of body to this dark monster. Good head. Full of fizzy bubbles that helped to carry the complex flavors around the palate. Tons of Licorice in the after taste, very nice. There was some flowery-barley wine after taste, other wise, I would have called it a stout. Very nice, try nice! Thanks to Mullman!

Oct 9, 2005 The aroma had a slight alcohol ester with dark fruit, plums, raisins, roast, malts, and a slight oakiness. The beer poured a deep brown color w/ red hues; almost no head and slight lacing. The flavor had apples, plums, raisins, dark fruit, and oak. The mouthfeel was creamy and well-rounded w/ a full bodied. This beer was absolutely fantastic.... Thanks Darkelf!

Oct 9, 2005 First, a HUGE thanks to biz82 for sending this my way! Pours an opaque dark brown, about the color of a cola, with a thinned lazy tan head. The head fades out around the edge of the glass and becomes small bubbles. Aroma is VERY nice! Lots of raisins, molasses, maple syrup, brown sugar, bourbon, wood, light vanilla, and alcohol soaked fruits. Very much like Sam Adams Triple Bock. Oh. My. God. This is absolutely delicious! Lots of brown sugar, dark chocolate, raisins, molasses, bourbon soaked wood notes, rum soaked fruits, vanilla, and light tobacco notes. Indeed very port-like and sweet. Body is not quite as syrupy as expected. There’s a mild carbonation feel to it. Some obvious alcohol warmth. Creamy at times as well. Very nice. Finishes with lots of raisins, light figs, bourbon and wood, molasses, vanilla, rum cake, chocolate brownies, and brown sugar. Very rich and very good! I wish I had an extra to age....

Sep 30, 2005 Thanks to DarkElf for this bottle. Dark brown, with a small, tan head. Aromas are oak, bourbon, sweet malt, dark fruit, and brown sugar. Heavy, thick body, with sweet malt, brown sugar, bourbon, dark fruit, and oak. An excellent brew, I need more of this.

Sep 21, 2005 Very dark brown body is topped by a very fine-textured, creamy head. The aroma is rich. A bourbon barrel aspect is present, but it’s far from overbearing or dominating. Instead it meshes seamlessly into the pears, honey, brownies, bananas and a touch of floral perfume. The flavor is definitely sweet, but keeps from quite edging into cloying. The bitterness is balanced, so this obviously isn’t in the Sierra Nevada Bigfoot strain of barleywines. The rich maltiness, in addition to what was in the flavor, is a bit like maple syrup and pancakes. Hefty and satisfying. The liquid is very viscous and the carbonation provides an extremely creamy mouthfeel. Thanks to biz82 for the opportunity to try this one.

Sep 17, 2005 Updated: Sep 21, 2005Down in the depths of my fiery home, the beer shines a burnt mohagany. The summons bell wll chime, tempting you and all the earth, with absolutely no head. There is a job to be done, and Im the one, to smell that malty smokey aroma of metallic bandaid.
So come on, jump in the Midnight Sun, So come on...Jump in the Midnight Sun!
With hell in my eyes and with death in my veins, The velvety smooth rivers of molassis flow. Feeding on the minds of man, brown sugar, port and chocolate raisin search you out. Follow me now my child not the meek or the mild, the Vanilla and smokey tastes will make you do as I say...
So come on, jump in the Midnight Sun, So come on...Jump in the Midnight Sun
Jump by your will or be taken by force, that Smeet bitterness will get you either way. Trying to keep the hellfire lit
I am stalking you as prey, but that dessertish finish will even make metallica sound NOT-gay.
So come on, jump in the Midnight Sun, So come on...Jump in the Midnight Sun

Sep 16, 2005 22 oz. bomber, shared by DarkElf, you rock dude! Pours dark brown, opaque with a thick tannish head which left good lacing. Aroma is sweet and rich with dark roasted malts, brown sugar, caramel, wood and whiskey notes (both from the bourbon barrel and the alcohol content) Flavor is rich , dark fruits, brown sugar and molasses, smooth alcohol, dark coffee, port wine notes, wood, earth and dried ripe cherries. What an amazing amalgam of sensory stimulation! Smooth mouthfeel, gentle carbonation and very drinkable - dangerously so for an 11.6 abv monster. This is one rockin’ brew!
