Commercial Description:
Definitely not your Dad's Wimpy 30 weight. An enormous & luscious dark ale that's as opaque and dark as the most well used motor oils.

Bottled, consumed on 11/3/07. Very dark brown pour generates a long-lasting tan head of fine bubbles. Looks and smells like a stout. Very silky, warming mouthfeel: a touch of alcohol burn, due perhaps to the bourbon barrel aging. Flavors of mocha, tobacco and a hint of cherries (maybe?), as well as bourbon. Didn’t note any hops on the palate. A little one-note on the flavor, but a great flavor it is! Quite active and tingly as it goes down and warming in the stomach. A big beer that tastes great!

Poured a very dark brown with a toffee head. Nice caramel and mocha aroma, with a beautiful vanilla undertone. Flavor is of tobacco, bourbon, and mocha notes. Really nice.

Very dark motor oil pour. Burnt coffee and caramel flavors. Decent lace. Amazing balance. Alcohol is detectable. This 22oz bomber kicks hard after finishing it.

Bottled. Aroma has chocolate, american hops, raisins and moccha. Cloudy, black-brown coloured with athin, beige lace. Taste is a bit sweet, with some roasted chocolate malts, raisins. It has a very ligering hoppiness with a good bitter-dry finish.

Dark, opaque, yet not overly syrupy blackness, small dark foam cap. Wonderfully rich nose, all the dark boozy epithets apply, nutty, plums, apple, oak, "whiskey", "rummy", etc. Nice austere palate, enough malt for balance....tar. Airport runway. Intense but pretty drinkable near(imperial)-stout!
