Serve in Snifter

Bottle shared with HogTownHarry, blankboy, jerc & mabel - courtesy of HogTownHarry. Deep brown-black with a medium sized creamy tan head. Nice aroma of malted milk, chocolate, molasses and a good amount of hops to round it out. Soft mouthfeel. Fantastic flavour - big sweet and roasty notes well integrated with hints of bitter coffee, a healthy dose of hops, and some tingly alcohol warmth in the finish. Most excellent!

750ml batch 74 bottle 592. Pours medium dark with little to no head. Amazing aroma of burnt sugars and some coffee/mocha. Pallet was spot on hints of citrus up front, smooth with chocolate roast through the mid and finishes creamy. Not bad considering its an 05, the body level has managed to stay mid to full. I’ll see where the other two bottles I have take me someday.

Oxidized dark malts on the nose. Soy, some dark smoke/burt notes. Dark chocolate cakey notes. Black pour tan head turns into a ring. Dark as fuck. Nice sweet roasty and smokey flavors. Dry and sweet but not full of over the top residual sugars, Oxidized, but flavorful. Mellowed to an awesomness. Really solid sweet/dry. Good shit.

thanks riversideak! clearing out the wales! creamy chocolate oatmeal nose, dense. black, sticky tan head. dry dark chocolate body, little dark fruit, growing in intensity and complexity. slick and sticky.

Thanks to Alex for pulling this bottle out at Mike’s bachelor-party tasting. Served in a Savor snifter. Pours dark brown with a fairly-massive mocha-colored head and a nice bit of light lacing as it goes down. The nose brings some chocolate and roast, bordering on Whoppers candy. Behind that, I got a bit of light cherry-skin character and red and black licorice. Also, a bit of light brown-paper character toward the end. The flavor brings a lot of malted chocolate as well as a faint roast character. The mouthfeel helps this one along--medium body that brings forward a creamy and smooth brew. The finish is somewhat dry and is definitely lacking in booziness. I seemed to be in the minority not really digging this one, but it had a lot of interesting components and was something I had wanted to try for quite awhile now.

Thanks to Alex for sharing one of his rare whale bif beers. Unlabled poured into a snifter...Light black pour with, a nice tan head pops up but it fades to fast to a half finger cap, light lacing...A light aroma that displays a slight sourness, is this a little infected? Lots of malt chocolate, cocoa, a little brine character...The taste is really roasty, surprised, where’d that come from? Bitter chocolate, caramel, a slight metallic finish...This is by no means bad, a couple faults to me, but I’d drink it again. I probably liked it the least of the group, but what do I know.

Sampled from the tap at EBF. Poured near black with a brown head that dissipated to the edges and remained there. Aroma was full of creamy chocolate, roasted malts and a bit of a nutty note as well as coffee. Flavor had a chocolate note with a growing nuttiness and some roasted malts. Nice and creamy on tongue.

UPDATED: JUN 1, 2011 A beer that begs to be remade, on tap at Extreme Beer Fest. Fudgy, fruity, roasty. Nose is good, taste is better, really wish I’d have gone back to the table for more. Roasty, chocolatey, very good and by-the-book.

This poured a black color with a beige head. The aroma contains some chocolate, coffee, and a hint of charcoal. The flavor is rather sweet with some chocolate, coffee, and cocoa powder. Some alcohol in the finish. Overall this was a bit on the extreme side but good. Happy trails my friend!
