COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
For 2007 the brewers have selected a blend of 7 malts and 7 hops to create our unique annual limited release. When you decide to open this, you will notice a pitch black ale that pours with small brown head. The aroma is full of citrusy and floral notes, not only from the hops added from the boil but also the hops added after fermentation, the dry hop stage. Finally, one taste of this years beer and you will understand why it is so dark, roasted chocolately and malty flavors are abundant from the various dark malts that make up so much of the recipe. It is extremely limited, extremely strong and extremely original, because as we like to say around here "Its all about extremes!"

bottle at the RBSG grand tasting thanks to irishboy. Black with a tan head. Oaky, vanilla and chocolate aroma. The flavor is a little thin with some caramel, chocolate, and wood. Thin body with medium carbonation. A bit thin for a big stout.

Bottle from City Liqquor Store in Providence. Definetly past it’s prime. Cloudey dark brown, no head. Aroma of old oporto wine. Marriot Hotel has it on tap, will try a more recent vintage, before writing it off.

jake65 (2095) - Williston, North Dakota, USA - MAY 13, 2009
Dark brown pour with a thin brown head. Smells roasty, dark fruits, and cocoa. Nice. This has some potential. Flavor is roasted malts and molasses, along with a light amount of vinous fruits. Some faded hops too. Not bad. A little thin on the tail and some brash abv remnants. I’m sensing it was better a year ago...

holdenn (1841) - Chicago, Illinois, USA - APR 17, 2009
750 bottle from a trade with growler. Thanks! Pours a dark brown black with a tan thin ring that fades to to an opaque black stillness. The oxidized notes rise off strong at first but they mellow over a few minutes from soy to chocolate and a rich oakiness. Soy flavors fade to chocolate and bourbon. Bitter and roasty with a slight sugarry sweetness. Thin smooth body finishes watery and dry. After the initial oxidation, this one significantly improved. Decent beer.

xnoxhatex (1305) - Grand Rapids/Chicago, Michigan, USA - APR 16, 2009
Bottle thanks to Holdenn. Dark brown, almost black wiht small almost non exisstent brown head. Aroma is bourbon, soy, vanilla, port, roast, dryer. Sweeter bourbon flavor with alc, vanilla, cherry, port, roasted malt. Medium to thin, watery. Oxidized and boozy, but not bad, doesn’t take away from it too much.
