Shakeyfest 09. Thanks again Andy! Nice chocolate. Slight wood. Very thick. Low carbonation.

Bottle thanks to Jake65. Pours a near black brown with thin tan head the recedes to the edges quickly, minimal lacing. Aroma strong of coffee, toasted and roasted malts, chocolate, and lots of spices and alcohol. Flavor matches pretty well, but comes together for a nice balance and an enjoyable brew. Nothing out of this world, but pretty good.

12 oz bottle courtesy of a GAManiac trade. Thanks, Grant! I continue the Duck Rabbit Trek.. just this and one more to go! Pours a very dark near black pour, fairly thick, ruby edges, fair light brown chocolate milk head that laces some, stays at a small layer. Aromas are a nice chocolate base, sweet and semi sweet mix, with coffee, roasted malts, a touch of caramel, a light dark fruitiness of plum and muted cherries. Initial is farly heavy bodied, throwing chocolate, a bit bitter, with roasted malts, a caramel malt sweetness combined with plum and cherries come through stronger, dark fruits are plentiful. Fairly rich and decadent, a bit cakey, but the dark fruits come out after the chocolate (The other major element of the beer in my opinion). A bit creamy and heavy bodywise (Not a bad thing), Finish is a bit sweet, with fairly good roast, and some decent dark fruitiness coming out even there. A pretty good brew overall. Smooth and rich.

Near black in color. Looks like blood spilled on the table cloth. Thick and chewy feel. Scents of dark chocolate, lightly roasted malt, dark ripe fruits and a hint of treacle. Full flavors with rich, lightly earthy malt, dark chocolate, rum soaked fruit cake and touch of coffee. Finish and linger have a bit of dark malt bitterness and some light fruit. A rich and hearty brew.

12oz bottle from Chuck’s Fine Wines. Black pour with a huge tan head. Smoky aroma with chocolate, coffee, molasses and lots of dark fruit. Raisin and molasses flavor up front with chocolate and a semi-dry coffee finish to balance out the sweetness. Tasty stuff.

Bottle split with curly to pop his baltic porter cherry. Very dark brown pour with good brown head. Chocolate, sweet dark berries, anise, oak, vanilla nose. Flavors don’t quite hold up as well, but huge rum soaked fruit, milk chocolate, bitter chocolate, and gets sweeter as it warms, some woodiness. Sweet but not cloying, medium body with almost no real traces of alcohol. Very tasty, but maybe just a little to rich for my personal taste.

Solid black with a medium sized brown head that eventually fades. Toasted malt, choc., vanilla, ripe dark fruit, and some hop citrus spice aroma also. Taste is more of a bitter dark chocolate and coffee with a thin feel. Alcohol is slightly warming but very well balanced. Also it seems like there some hop citrus and cocoa in the finish.

Aroma of wood and smokey chocolate notes. Flavor of chocolate, bourbon, and wood notes with a still weird smokey tone to it. Just OK to me
