THis pours a dark brown with a small beige head. Nose is toffee, caramel, alcoholic. Tastes like the aroma with some added oak, bourbon, bitter cocoa,and raisins. Body is full, carbonation is though after 4 years, lol.. Beerlando (1352), Orlando, Florida, USA Mar 5, 2008 Courtesy SoLan. The pour is a dark chocolate brown with a reddish tint. Zero head or lacing noted. Scents of rich caramel, chocolate malts, vanilla, and hints of boozy bourbon comprise the nose. It smells very rich, not at all oxidized like I was expecting. The flavor is again very sweet and malty, with virtually zero hop remnants. A chewy blend of Indiscernible dark fruits washed in bourbon and then steeped in molasses and nougaty malts comprise the taste profile. The body is substantial, but in a syrupy, sweet kind of way. I imagine this was much better when fresh, but it was till fairly enjoyable even at this age. KAggie97 (1920), Ugly, Hot, and Humid Spring, Texas, USA Feb 26, 2008 Bottle at the second Doubletree tasting, provided by Zinister. Thanks! Pours an average mahogany with nice lacing around the glass. Aroma is molasses, cane sugar, syrup, and red wine. Tastes of sour molasses, plumb, and bourbon. Average mouthfeel. Alcohol is very prominent. Not a bad beer.
