Feb 25, 2009 Bottle 96/222 of the 2005 batch sampled courtesy of Sparky27 @ Hellbilly’s Hellraiser 3.0...THANKS ERIC!!! This one has to take the top honors of the night (and Rodenbach Alexander, Southampton RIS, and Toronado 20th were in the Hiz-Ous)...rusty penny/maple syrup pour with a razor-thin caramel head. Aroma has strong barrel-notes; oak, bourbon, toffee, and molasses. Flavor is sweet malt, candied sugar, dark fruit, brown sugar, and freshly spliced vanilla bean. Quite thick and sticky...WOW!!!

Feb 19, 2009 06 bottle from a trade with WeeHeavySD, Thanks Jon! Pours dark brown with a small tan head. Nose is peat, bourbon, oak, some sweet caramel, and alcohol. The barrel in this beer really seems to interfere with the tasty flavors of the base beer. This one was just okay and a major letdown in a much hyped series beers.
