(bottled sampled from miketd by way of enniskillen.)black body with a nice looking dark brown head.as the head sits i get nice webbing on the glass.the aroma is really nice.i pick up marshmellows,brownies,brown sugar,roasted malts,and dark fruit.the flavor was a different blend of tobacco,alcohol,some chocolate,smoke,and dark fruit make up the flavor.now as it warms a bit the sweetness comes out,but i liked the aroma a bit more.

Jul 7, 2008 06 version. Thanks to hopscotch and the person who wished to be nameless for samples. Black pout with a small tan head. Aroma was coffee, caramel, chocolate, anise, and maple syrup. Burnt coffee flavors, anise, chocolate, roasted malt, peat/bog, as well. Full bodied finish with sharp carbonation. Finish was quite long and complex but man this beer is flawed for the score. Still a great try.

Jul 5, 2008 2006 Version:
Black with a tan head, spotty lacing; head recedes to a ring around the glass. Chocolate, roasty coffee, graham cracker, and some ash. Taste is roasty, maple, molasses, vanilla, and seemed to have a fair amount of earthy hops too. Medium carbonation and medium body. Pretty good beer, but not really the amazing beer it’s made out to be. Thanks to pepsican for sharing.

The pour is a tar color with virtually no head. The nose was chocolaty, bourbon, smoke,vanilla and wood. Flavors are a popping. Chocolate,bourbon, wood,espresso, vanilla,and some dark fruit.A well balanced delight with a creamy mouthfeel. This was warming going down and finished warm.Thank you Eric!!

Jun 11, 2008 Thank you BrianK!!!! Pours a rick dark lurking black body. Aroma is oak, bourbon and rich maple syrup the whole nose through. The flavors are explosive and everything i’ve ever wanted in a stout. Bourbon, chocolate, oak, and booziness. Backers chocolate, vanilla, charleston chew, and more oaky bourbon chocolate goodness. This is the best stout i’ve ever had. Im never quick to rate a beer so highly my first time having it, but mother of god this is flawless. WOW!

Jun 9, 2008 Opened for my 25th birthday. I’m a fan. Smells incredible. I really like the was this turned out. Very smoothe, oaky, with hints of vanilla. Everything came together quite nicely. I love it.
