Apr 25, 2008 Pours dark brown with a tan head. Smells of burnt malt, licorice, spice, chocolate, some warming boozy touches. Tastes of chocolate, raisins, spice, lots of molasses and candy hints. Mouthfeel is full with a finish that is semi sweet.

Apr 24, 2008 Big thanks to zathrus13 for this baby. Pours black with a lively off white head. Heavy malty nose. Flavor has quite a bit more malt, some nut, chocolate, and caramel. Finishes with lively carbonation, no hint of the abv. Interesting.

Apr 24, 2008 Updated: Nov 1, 2009Pours black with small head. Aroma of roasted malt and nut. A bit watery on the mouthfeel, but rich enough. Flavor was mostly roasted malt- simple but tasty. Nov 1 Re-Rate due to drunkenness... Very dark brown pour with reddish tints and a one finger frothy beige head. Aroma is roasted malt, caramel, toffee, toast, molasses, cocoa nib, vanilla, and some dark fruit esters. Flavor is quite sweet with roasted barley, and chocolate caramel coming through most notably. A slight alcohol accompanies vanilla, ending dry and roasty. Palate is chewy, slippery, and velvety, with low to medium effervescence, and a dry finish. Quite a bit better on the second go.

Apr 24, 2008 nice nearly black coloration with a reddish tint, ok head, ok lacing. aroma of roasted malt with definite nuttiness to it. pretty decent brew here from victory- nice smoking roasted quality to it, though the mouthfeel is a little watery and the flavor isn’t very complex, which keeps this from being an upper 90s brew. really nice overall though.

Apr 24, 2008 Pours a pretty, deep reddish-black with a nice-sized head. Looks a little thin as it goes into the glass. Light aromas of dark chocolate and rough grains. Raisin, yeast and bourbon on the palate, which is rather short, but intense. Dry, empty finish.
