Nov 2, 2006 Updated: Sep 14, 2007At DDC 8th anniversary sept 2006, on tap aged 3.75 years. Brown body with a small off-white head. Wicked aroma of malts, leather and herbs/grass. Taste is simply sick dirty. We’re talking tree roots, maple, rotting malts, wet leather, nuts, fur. Sounds gross and it was… but in a good way. Not an everyday beer but rather an intense experience like no other. That’s one filthy sleazy gross beer. If it could talk it would it would have told me something like “I wanna **** you up your ***”. Also had a 2003 bottles that was just wrong, didn’t look right and didn’t taste right, that one was also gross but the bad type of gross.

Oct 16, 2006 Updated: Jun 5, 2007This beer is by far one of the best i’ve ever had the pleasure to taste! Aged for 3 years... this amazing brew had a small long lasting head... incredibly muddy looking... WOW... aromas of nutts caramel molasses... there’s just to many flavors and aromas in this beer... i’d die to see the ingrediants used in this beer... Coriander, dates... very flowery port like... a little vanilla...average alcohol twist, slightly carbonated and a nice leathery finish to it... This beer completes me!

Aug 11, 2006 2003 release: Cloudy brick red. Inordinately large bubbles comprise the unattractive head. Unappealing aroma of sharp alcohol, plasticy phenols, cedar, and wet paper. Well-aged cakey malt notes hide beneath. Fierce carbonation and mild tannins suck the palate dry. Beefy, thickset malts and a baked caramel sweetness attempt to allay the sharply alcoholic dryness, but the alcohol prevails. Highly disharmonious mixture of dried leather, plasticy phenols, and medicine do nothing but taint the overall flavor. Finishes earthily bitter and dully hoppy, with a profusion of ensuing phenolic belches. Very odd that they would opt to serve this as it’s extremely rigid, flavorwise. And the oxidation has rendered the aroma mostly papery and dull. Dang.
