Dec 20, 2008 Bottle. Poured an opaque black color with a light brown head. Smelled of steeping barley, chocolate, roast, molasses, and alcohol. medium to full bodied with lowish carbonation. Semi-sweet with a creamy mouth feel and minimal alcohol warmth. Tasted predominantly of dark chocolate and cocoa powder. Delicious.

Jul 14, 2008 Updated: Feb 22, 2009Bottle generously shared by a local who brought this to Track 84 in Warwick, R. Pours deep brown with a tan head. Nice aroma of dark roast, coffee grounds, and wood. Medium bodied with a slight creamy texture. Non aggressive flavors of dark unsweetened bakers chocolate, coffee beans, and dark roast. Mid palate has some vanilla right before the dry and slightly woody finish. Alcohol is well hidden. Good, but not as complex as Abyss. A tad heavy on the coffee.

Feb 13, 2009 Bottle: Pours a DARK black with a medium sized, slick tan head that disappears as quickly as it arrived. Aroma is of coffee, dark chocolate, wood with a touch of whisky. The flavor is dominated by malt, with a touch of bitterness and alcohol. However, the taste is a bit off with a funky astringent/medicinal layer. Palate is spot on..medium/heavy body, silky smooth and creamy. Just an outstanding mouthfeel. Overall this is a very interesting beer. It gets a decent score, but I probably won’t be rushing out to buy more.

Aug 23, 2008 Updated: Sep 24, 2009yeah, I have to re-rate this one after trying it again. Nice pour with tall brown head, aroma of coffee, a little bit of bourbon, some roasted malts and maybe a touch of vanilla. Flavor is all over the place as well. Bourbon is definitely noticeable, but you also get the underlying porter flavors... Medium mouthfeel.... Better than I thought last year

Oct 18, 2009 Pours an opaque black with a medium tan head. Aroma is much brown sugar, roasted malt, cinnamon, some hops too. Flavor is packed full of malts, then comes coffee, a little smokiness, and the bourbon barrels are apparent as well. A sweet bourbon finish. Thick, rich mouthfeel. I like it. A little overpriced, but damn good. Overall, excellent.

Oct 20, 2008 Bottle from tyler. Dark black in color, decent head and good lacing. Strong aroma of chocolate and coffee. Taste is pretty much the same. Lots of coffee, roasted malt, chocolate all blended together. Good texture and carbonation level. I wouldnt of guessed it to be 11 percent, the alcohol was hiddent very well. Overall a tasty beer. Thanks tyler

Sep 27, 2008 [Bottle] Shared by Skyview. Aroma is bittersweet chocolate, coffee, and a touch of bourbon. Not an overpowering bourbon flavor. Nice and dry with a roasty coffee finish.
