Bottle pours oily black with a thick tan head. Has nice aromas of mostly coffee with some bitter chocolate. Mouthfeel is thick and heavy. Taste follows my nose and has heavy coffee flavors, chocolate, molasses, and dark roasted malts. Overall this is a very tasty brew. Thanks Eric for sending it and to Brian for sharing.

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

Aug 15, 2008 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.

Aug 5, 2008 Pours thick. Nice smoky aroma, the bourbon barrel aging softens the alchohol. Good roasted grains, chocalate almost like a good imp. stout.

Aug 3, 2008 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.
