Sep 16, 2009 750ml Bottle with big thanks to JMFG! Pours a medium brown with not much of a head. Nose is some caramel, nuts and a hint of earth. Flavor is wonderful! Some not so subdued notes of nuts, a hint of toffee, and maybe....just maybe a background of mild coffee. It seems to sweeten up a bit from the time it hits the lips until the time it travels down to the belly. As this warms up a bit any subdued flavors really start to pull through. I start to notice a hint of chocolate...maybe a bit of ash as well. Very solid beer.

Sep 13, 2009 Bottle from TheCheeseman. Dark brown pour, medium carbonation and rich chocolate and malt aroma. Flavor is roasted malts, a little bit of brown sugar and again some chocolate and vanilla. Slightly woody/smoky finish and very mellow for being a 9% ABV brew. I’m really starting to think cigar city cannot make a bad beer.

Sep 13, 2009 750 ml bottle thanks to Dave. Pours a cloudy brown color with a large white head. The aroma is smooth chocolates, toasted malts, nutty and warm. The flavor is very quaffable in complete disagreement with the ABV; rich toasted malts, nuts, chocolate and a great smooth mouthfeel. Nice.

Sep 13, 2009 Very very dark brown pour with s thick mocha head. Sweet bready malts in the aroma, with some hazel nut and subtle hops. Flavor is quite malt forward and pretty one dimensional. I’m not as impressed with this beer as I was sbout some of this breweries other offerings,

Sep 12, 2009 The aroma is chocolate, hazelnut, bread. Very nice. the appearance is a beuatiful deep mahogany brown, tan head. The flavor is even more chocolate than the aroma implies, tobacco leaves, nuts. The finish is a sweet cocoa, moving into lingering piney hops. Awesome thick, creamy mouthfeel. Excellent representation of the style.

Sep 10, 2009 Big chocolatey nose, chewy caramel, tobacco leaf, and hints of hazelnuts and pecan pie. Dark brown color, vaguely hazy, modest head, good lacing. Sweet malts but balanced with a mild acidity, leafiness, nutty. Semi-dry finish for such a big beer! Clean, malt forward. A bit of roast, smoke and coffee but its very mild. Very cool complexity through all the malt, not distracted by an overload of hops, and all in a big balanced beer. Job well done.
