Jul 14, 2007 Tap at the brewpub. Pours beautiful dark ruby. Sweet malt and fresh oak on the nose. Toffee sweet body leading to some molasses-y dryness. Dried fruit and honey. Fairly viscous with some nice carbonation. Finishes dry.

Jul 13, 2007 Wow... just wow... Dark brown color almost black with no head. Massively oaked nose with the alcohol cutting through the dark, dried fruit undertones. Sweet bourbon malt body with plenty of oak flavor and perhaps the faintest bit of peat cutting through (though that part might just be wishful thinking).

Jul 12, 2007 A very dark brown with a bit of red color with a few spots of a head. The aroma is very big with oak and fruit and a bit of alcohol. The taste is a lot like the regular version but there is a lot of barrel aged character in this. Bourbon I presume, but not necassarily. I think the flavors in the original have faded a bit and some more full sweet dark-overly ripe fruits have shown up. Its pretty good but the barrel really didn’t improve this beer.

Dec 22, 2006 Tap on 10/28/05. A dark brown to black color with a rich brown head. A chocolate and plum aroma. Strong smoked flavors with caramel. Rich and smooth.
