3.8 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 16/20
750ml bottle from foppa... Pours a dark cola blackish pour with less
intense edges and a thin to medium film of ligh khaki head... Nose made up of light char and peaty with a semi-moderate whiskey bent. Some light chocolate and cocoa undertones Not the cleanest aromas overall but improves a bit... Flavors are def whiskey forward yet smooth with some heat. Non-assertive cocoa and chocolate notes with creamy fluffy subdued body. Some lasting burn comes through eventually and the whiskey makes it somewhat rough. Better at first and then got a little old.

750 ml bottle from Josh. Deep brown pour with a fluffy light tan head. Aroma is chocolate with oaky notes and hints of licorice. Flavor is a complex mix of several flavors, most notably chocolate and oak again with a hint of coffee. It paints the palate with a thick chocolate finish. Awesome beer, wish I could buy it in Minnesota!

Thanks Alex – Black as the night can get big dark malt aroma. Lots of bourbon and oak also in the aroma. This was a great malt build of coffee, dark chocolate and the bourbon mixed well. Fantastic Barrel aged brew.

Sampled at the 7th Annual Parkville Microbrew Festival on April 24th, 2010. I’ve had this lots of times. As black as Angela’s hair. Remarkable dark brown head with the consistency of concrete. I always smell and taste coconuts from this beer. It might just be Tyson’s masterpiece thus far in his young career. I look forward to all the aged tastings in the Barrage.
