Nov 25, 2007 Lots of peppery spice and rye leading to notes of anise and marzipan. Mildly buttery palate with good mouthfeel, very prominent rye flavors. seems rather soft for a stout. Very peppery lingering finish.

Nov 18, 2007 Tap @ Bistro in Hayward: Left over from their Barrel aged fest. Black color with not much head. Smoky and malty aroma. Flavors of licorice and spices. The aftertaste is wonderful and sticks around for a while. Yummy!

Feb 4, 2007 a very rye, chocolate, coffee stout. some bittersweet flavors but worth my time kind of bitter. there was some serious wild turkey in this one. i think this one may have been my downfall in the fest

Dec 24, 2006 Tap at the Bistro’s 1st Annual Barrel Aged Festival 11-11-2006. A mahogany brown color with a tan head. A malty and grain flavor. An odd mix with a nice cut of whisky.

Dec 8, 2006 Tasted on tap at the 1st Annual Barrel Aged Festival. This stout pours an deep brown color. Small sized beige foamy head. Aroma is rye and bourbon, some chocolate and coffee. A lighter bodied stout. Malts are bready and there is some chocolate and coffee in the background. Touch of rye spiciness. Nice balance. Has a nice residual, sweetness. Mouthfeel is full. Finish is crisp and dry. Aftertaste is slightly bitter.

Dec 9, 2002 Pitch black and headless. that is not what this beer is about though. WHISKEY!!! lots of it. the aroma smacks of whiskey all i could remember was a bad night with jack daniels as i smelled this beer. but it was surprisingly decent once i got past that. very thin body. the aroma and taste were both that of alcohol, specifically whiskey. because of the thin body it had a very clean finish that gave this beer at least two more points in my overall impression.

Dec 9, 2002 headless, black, thin, hop rod rye plus black bear stout? seems better in theory. The whalloping strength is well-disguised but it just seems mmmm... thin and slightly metallic.
