Bottle pours pitch black with a nice tan head. Has a dark fruit aroma with some cherry in there somewhere. There is also some bourbon on the nose. Has a medium to heavy mouthfeel. Taste is oak, vanilla, bourbon, vanilla, cherry, vanilla, and finishes with a slight cherry tart flavor that merries all the flavors together beautifully . This is a perfect beer. I find no flaws.

Aug 26, 2008 Bottle from mmm///beer, thanks a million. Wow this is one unique beer. I poured this into my Gulden Draak tulip and watched the black, viscous liquid coat the glass as it poured. I sniffed the bourbon and chocolate aroma for 5 minutes as I warmed the beer slighly in my palms. I smelled liquid raisins and possibly a dried cherry aroma. I watched the thin brown head stick around and watched it flow around the contours of my glass as I swirled it. The flavor hit my tongue with a bourbon flair followed by a tart, fleeting taste of cherries. The finish is bourbon follwed by more dark, bitter chocolate. By my palette this is a masterpiece, but I could see how some would not appreciate it. Like fine art, some will covet it while others will sneer. Bravo Bells. Bravo!

Aug 17, 2008 Bottle: Batch 7777 from the Eccentric Cafe: Pitch black pour with a rocky, deep tan head. Basically this comes off like a bourbon-soaked cherry covered in fine chocolate both in the nose and taste...some mild woodsy tones noted. Amazing brew!

Aug 16, 2008 12oz bottle via trade with mmm///beer. Pours like motor oil with a small, chocolate colored head. The nose had hints of tart cherry, bourbon and oak. One of the better brews I’ve had from Bells.
