Aroma of peat, molasses, licorice, roasted malts and caramel. Taste of caramel, molasses with a little chocolate and roasted malt character as well. Body is a little over carbonated. It’s okay, not sure I’d have it again though. estoppel (1028), Buffalo, New York, USA

| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 5/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | May 13, 2008 Bottle. Had to save it for the artwork. Pours black with creamy thick tan head that disipates into the beer. Flavor is chocolate, malt, coffee, and licourish. Alcohol is well masked. pnista (1008), Bloomington, Indiana, USA
| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | May 10, 2008 Circa 2007 bottle. Pours a very very dark black with a looser tan head. Flatter nose, a bit of acidity. Some sweetness. A bit of roast with small chocolate. Low viscosity. Small carbonation. Oddly smoky. Sweeter alcoholic roast. Small chocolate. Creamier. Lingering smokey chocolate. Interesting. I must say there’s more than a passing resemblance to bacon. Sammy (3979), Toronto, Ontario, Canada

Thanks Radek. Chocolate and malt offset and controlled the bitterness. Abve average mouthfeel. Drinkable. Had the "reserve edition" second time and most drinkable.
