Jul 28, 2007 Murky copper color on this angel of death with a head as big as the wings themselves. Big grapefruit aroma with notes of oranges, peach, oak and some floral hop accents. The initial taste almost seared my taste buds off, holy sh.. I started breathing fire after tasting this thing and thought for a second there my name was Dante. After I finally came to my senses minutes later this brew had opened up a bit and the caramel and citrus hop flavors had masked the alcohol much better. The oak aspects definitely were present without making me feel like I was licking a tree. Very fine beer.

Jul 24, 2007 Bottle. Pours a thick brown/black. A heavy beer by no doubt. A very intense taste similar to scotch, the alcohol is very noticable, an oak-aged taste is very aparent.

Jul 14, 2007 Cloudy, copper appearance with an average size, off white head and moderate lacing. Woody, caramel malt aroma with hints of scotch and vanilla. Earthy, dark fruit, mildly spiced flavors. After the sweetness settles, the alcohol pounces and lingers through to the finish where it becomes a bit harsh. Full bodied mouthfeel with little carbonation. Had to get a second bottle because the first one wasted me before I could rate it. Definitely left a lasting impression.

Jul 6, 2007 (bottle - 12 oz) Amber color with almost no head or carbonation. Aroma is very sweet with a lot of alcohol present and tons of caramel. Flavor is very strong and oaky with lots of caramel, toffee, and alcohol. Very chewy and warming on the way down. Bordering on too sweet.

Jul 3, 2007 pours amber with a small white head. Aroma hits you hard with pure alcohol and sweetness. This just smells sweet. And the taste is just that. pure candy sugar from and oak tree. Too much for me, and too cloying for the grimreeser.
