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.

I had been anticipating opening this bottle for a while, and it did not disappoint. Prunish aroma, rich malt notes as well. Buttery, rich fat, deep and intense flavor. Palate is milky feeling, coating my taste buds with the remnants of this decadent brew.

Tasted @ the Uber Tavern in Seattle.
Black colored brew. Chocolate malts, dark fruits in the aroma. Oak, bourbon, chocolate malts, coffee and roasted, smoked flavor. Smooth and creamy. Nice.

22 oz. btl from Bevmo. First thought: Is this a bad bottle? There’s no carbonation AT ALL. It poured thick and black, and flat like a (insert your joke here. I cannot). I poured the last half rough to get any reaction. I got an 8th of an inch of dark foam that was gone quickly. Barely any residue left. I’m scared to try it because I don’t want to find out it’s bad. Here goes. Smell is deep and malty. Coffee. Thick, pungent, and thank God, it’s good. Definite alcohol taste on 2nd drink, that wasn’t there on first one. My tongue is going numb. This is one f’ing strong tasting beer. Ilike it.

Pours thick. Nice smoky aroma, the bourbon barrel aging softens the alchohol. Good roasted grains, chocalate almost like a good imp. stout.

A nice ale that is very roasty and burnt. A bit thin tasting to me, but it was nice due to the high alcohol. I kept getting some crisp dark bread flavor.
