Soonah (900), Tulsa, Oklahoma, USA Feb 10, 2009 From MrChopin via trade. Pour was dark with plenty of ruby highlights. A short, almost tan head formed and quickly evaporated. The aroma was roasted malt, light chocolate and some vanilla. Lacking much in terms of the hops. The flavor was a nice blend of chocolate, roasted malt, vanilla and a bit of wood. Above average mouthfeel. Good but lacking definition. nbutler11 (729), Phoenix, Arizona, USA Feb 9, 2009 Bottle at bockyhorsey’s pad. Pours black with a faint brown head. Smells of oak and chestnuts. Tastes of both with strong elements of baker’s cocoa and coffee. Not a huge beer, but smooth and well balanced. BrotherGrendel (545), San Diego (La Jolla), California, USA Feb 8, 2009 A- Dark brown/black hue, minimal biege head mostly dissipating, not much lacing
S- Dark fruits, brown sugar and molasses, licorice, alcohol
T- Initial taste is wood and bourbon, vanilla, raisins, plums, coffee, alcohol
M- Light/medium bodied, watery texture, low carbonation
D- Decent but somewhat uninspiring IRS, lacks boldness and complexities found is many of the bigger offerings in this genre markwise (1132), 15 Minutes from Kuhnhenn in, Florida, USA Feb 5, 2009 This beer was a great surprise from Weyerbacher. Thanks kiefdog for the share. Pours a deep brown/black with a slight khaki head. The aroma is booze, dark malt, vanilla, chocolate, and some hop character. Flavor is chocolate malt, vanilla, and a deep oaky/ whiskey character. Smooth as silk and goes down very easy at 8.2%. Amazing beer, hands down the best from Weyerbacher. VikingHammer (362), Lynnfield, Massachusetts, USA Jan 31, 2009 22 oz bottle. Pours black with a fluffy brown head. Nice lacing in the glass. Strong coffee aroma with hints of vanilla. Flavors of chocolate, vanilla. smoke and some dark fruits. Medium to full bodied. Overall a nice stout. Snoop59 (69), Penn Run, Pennsylvania, USA Jan 10, 2009 12 oz. bottle poured into a snifter. Pours pitch black with a frothy, tan head that dissipated quickly but leaves a thin layer to the finish. Leaves decent lacing when swirled in the snifter. Nice subtle chocolaty aroma with hints of alcohol. Well balanced sweet malty flavor, some roasted malts, dark fruits and chocolate. Finishes dry with a nice warming. Full bodied. Incredibly smooth. Medium carbonation. Slipstream (734), USA Jan 5, 2009 I broke a 3 day cleansing fast with a bottle of this. Vinous aroma. A fairly light bodied and sweet stout that reminded me of Lion. pjweaver (133), Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, USA Jan 4, 2009 Tulip from bottle.
Pours a thick oily brown. Smells of espresso, dark chocolate, some vanilla and whiskey. Tan head with delicate lacing. Espresso hits the tongue, with dark chocolate, vanilla, some dark red fruits. Clingy chocolate in the aftertaste, with a smooth foam mouth feel.
