Apr 14, 2008 Updated: Jul 25, 20092008 Strong Ale Fest (Boulder, CO): Deep burgundy with a nice head. Intense aromas of coffee wafted up. Creamy smooth; full body. Drenched in sweetness (syrup, caramel, chocolate). Big, bold flavors and aromas of espresso and cream. Lesser notes (but still strong) of vanilla bean and dark chocolate. Mild bitterness fecklessly tried to keep up. Very tasty beer, albeit a bit too sweet for me. RERATE (bottle): Murky darkness. Rich and thick like a milkshake. Silky, too. Fruity alcohol and cocoa nose. Sour lactic intensity. Super-dark roast, tar, black licorice, bitter chocolate and espresso. Hoppy bitterness. Warming in the back of the throat. Great stuff.

Jul 25, 2008 22. Thanks, Terry! Solid black. Thin, burnt tan head. Rich roasty chocolatey nose. Creamy thick body. Some carb, but very restrained. Roasty, even a bit acrid, but just in spots--you really have to nurse it across the tongue to notice that. Some rich herbal hop notes bite a bit at the end. Rich, smooth, roasty, chocolatey.

Aug 5, 2008 Big thanks to Gillard for bringing this bottle along. Pours deep and dark with thin mocha head. The aroma is full of big toastiness along with chocolate, coffee, almonds, wood and bourbon. The aroma is deliciously bold as is the flavor. I get bold rich goodness from velvety dark chocolate, coffee, vanilla, wood, burnt malts and bourbon like booze. This is creamy, yummy, rich and very satisfying. Wow, a bit less boozy for my taste (I’m sure for most this aspect is just fine) and this one is near perfect.

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.

Aug 20, 2008 At Vero. Deep black, with light tan head. Brilliant, jewel-like aromas with loads of coffee bean. Lovely palate. Rich roasted coffee with loads of complexity. Spices, star anise, vanilla.

Jul 28, 2009 22oz. Bottle: Complex aroma of burnt malts, cocoa, slight coffee, chocolate, slight vanilla, slight bourbon, light wood, and tobacco. Poured very dark brown in color with a small, light brown head that diminished but lasted throughout as a film on top of the beer. Clear. Not sparkling. Flavor is medium to heavily sweet. Tastes of roasted malts, slight vanilla, chocolate, light coffee, light bourbon, light wood, light caramel, slight tobacco, and a hint of piney hops. Medium to full body. Viscous, dry texture. Soft to average carbonation. Dark roasted malt, chocolate, light coffee, slight bourbon, slight vanilla finish is dry. 11%ABV is totally hidden.
