Aug 20, 2009 Bottle From Belmont Party.
Poured clear copper color with an average frothy off-white head that mostly lasted with excellent lacing. Moderate earthy and small caramel malty aroma. Medium body with a smooth texture and lively carbonation. Moderate to heavy bittersweet flavor with a medium to heavy bittersweet finish of moderate to long duration.
This is a complex very good beer.

Aug 13, 2009 Sampled at the imports tasting at Blacklick Wine & Spirits on 8/13/09. 2009 edition. Clearish amber pour with a thin beige head. Creamy vanilla aroma with some booze and caramel, but not overly sweet smelling. Flavor backs down the sweetness even more, as it has a nice boozy caramel and fruity beginning before a pleasant bitter hop finish. Very good brew.

Aug 12, 2009 2009 Bottle. Pours a dark amber with a beige head that quickly decreases to a ring around the top with no lacing. The nose is strong and enticing with honey, wood and a hint of fruitiness. It is fairly dry on the palate with flavours of burnt toffee, whiskey, malt and spice. Alcohol is quite noticeable. Very enjoyable however and I imagine it may improve with a couple of years aging to be an absolute showstopper.

Aug 9, 2009 2006 bottle shared by Eugene thanks man. Pours an amber brune body with an off white head. Dark fruity plum vinous notes, caramelized sugars with a light etoh warming. Um then my notes read some total utter nonsense about victor being afraid to try this beer, cocaine, and feet water. And i was quoting BF2K... Yeah it was a good night!
