Sep 8, 2009 Unique wood-aged extra strong ྫྷ%) brown ale. The malty molasses sweetness caps how much I can enjoy this. The wood note was dissapointingly faint. A solid but pricey novelty that was much better mixed with a two hearted ale.

Sep 6, 2009 Pours dark reddish brown with a dark brown head. Aroma is salty and smoky, with notes of nuts and vanilla with a bit of alcohol coming through.
Flavour is very sweet. Chocolate, figs and plums, vanilla, roasted notes, cocoa and a hint of coffee, with warming alcohol. Perhaps a bit too sweet. It also had a slightly unpleasant weak meaty note, which if it was more prominent would have destroyed this brew. Thick and round body.

Sep 5, 2009 Boozy and chocolate malt flavor on the back of a big malt profile after the dark mahogany pour. Aroma is much the same, with the wood and pipe tobacco smells making this very warming.

Pours pitch black and almost completely opaque with very dark amber/burgundy edges when held to a light source witha thin coffee colored head that quickly dissipates.
Very earthy oak/wood aroma with hints of cherry, vanilla, roasted caramel malt, candi sugar, alcohol, dark fruit, spicy cinnamon and licorice.
There is a strong alcohol presence in the flavor that hurts the drinkability a bit. I would be curious to see how this one ages and mellows out. There is a slightly tart dark fruit presence as well with a very prominent wood/oak characteristic. Hints of dark fruit, candi sugar, vanilla, smoked malt and grape. This beer is very vinous with a bone dry finish.

Sep 3, 2009 Very dark brown with a slight tan head. Fruity as hell, very vinous and generally wine like plus loads of pepper and alcohol. Very tasty indeed.
