Sep 13, 2008 Dark mocha hue with a modest tan head that sparkles but fades fairly quickly. Nose is roast, espresso, dark chocolate, smoke, and bourbon. Taste is roasted coffee malts primarily backed by the oak undertones, pine and grassy hops peek through midway, bourbon warming through the finish. Medium-bodied, silky smooth texture with some alcohol heat, modest carbonation. Overall, a big bold porter with all flavors amped up, the bourbon and heat quickly takes over but doesn’t completely blast out the malt profile.

Sep 10, 2008 Pours dark black with brown head. Aromas of burnt malts, coffee and chocolate. Roasted malt flavor with oak, bourbon, bittersweet chocolate. There is a slight sweetness and some hop bitterness coming through. Full body with minimal carbonation and a slightly dry, earthy finish.

Sep 9, 2008 Shared by bleeng at the September Houston Tasting. Dark chocolate pour with a one finger head that’s the color of dark mocha. Nose of coffee and roasted beans with a bit of tang. Flavor is roasted coffee, ash, pitted fruits and a touch of hops. This beer will age and open nicely.

Sep 8, 2008 Many occasions now draught and bottle. Dark black pour with a thin brown head. Aroma is pretty damn roasty with some bitter chocolate and a touch of bourbon and oak. Roasty with some bittersweetness too. Somewhat burnt notes too mesh well with the light bourbon notes in the background. Dry earthy finish lingers for a while. The alcohol is huge in this one, but it works and is enjoyable.

Sep 6, 2008 a big, bad wax sealed 22 oz bottle. aroma is rich, of chocolate and roasted malts. flavor is definitely not weak. big flavors of dried cherries, chocolate, vanilla bean, and pepper. alcohol is not very well hidden in this brew, and definitely leaves a burn on your tongue.
