Nov 26, 2009 A nose of vanilla, tobacco, alcohol and funk. Taste is of grass, metal, vanilla, coffee and oak. Finish is a bit "green", acidic and dry. A strange but very enjoyable experience.

Nov 21, 2009 Bottled. Black, oily like "julmust" in colour. Nose of burnt coffee, fudge and vanilla. Tastes of coffee, pumpernickel. It hit me like a ton of bricks (not in a good way).

Nov 18, 2009 Black, almost oily liquid now sits in my glass. Three fingers of creamy coffee colored foam sit atop it. Beautiful.
Excellent retention and some excellent lacing, also.
Big maltiness scents mix with a slight touch of booziness. Mild chocolate covers dark fruits. Cherries and dark berries, mostly. Decent coffee nuttiness. Hints of vanilla caramels.
Unfortunately, all of these scents are fairly minimal and you really have to search to find them. Very light nose.
Big chocolate taste mixes with hints of coffee. Dark fruit sweetness. Light hints of vanilla and caramel, probably from the bourbon barrel aging. Big malts and toasted nuttiness. Some burnt brown sugar and molasses. Very slight licorice notes.
Good full bodied brew. Sadly, not as big and full as I expected it to be. It’s close to oily, but not quite there, yet. Carbonation is a tiny bit lacking. Could be so much better with a few more tiny bubbles. Lack of creaminess really hurts this one.
Despite my criticisms, I really like this one. I want to bathe in it. The taste is great.
Almost lives up to it’s hype.

Nov 18, 2009 Beautiful koffee black ale. Aroma reminds of herbs, herlbar spirits and leeather. Tastes of chlorine, rye bread/ pumpernickel.

Nov 18, 2009 Bomber bottle: Pours a thick oily black with a thin tan head. Roasty aroma has hints of mocha, oak, and dried fruits. Flavor is rich and sweet with hints of dark chocolate, toffee, and bourbon. Well balanced with a creamy texture and a mild dry finish. Excellent sipping beer that goes down smooth.
