Aug 19, 2009 12 oz bottle, shared between 4 (!) of us. Pours dark brown, quite thick, like molasses. The aroma was excellent, it di d go down rather well. Very much a sipper but everyone liked it, which I did not expect from such a complex and strong beer. Dark and roasted, it feels good in the mouth and lingers on the palate.

Aug 16, 2009 On Tap at FFF Brewpub. Pours dark brown with lighter brown edges and light tan head. Nose and flavor are equally complex. Alot of dark fruits and roastedness. The wood aging adds a nice component. Big time sipper, I think I spent nearly 90 minutes on the 1/2 pint pour.

Aug 14, 2009 It’s hard to describe but the opinion is, universally, that it’s excellent. Woody smell and taste, as advertised. Notes: dark red, brown foam, light sweetness, lightly bitter, full body, slick feel, soft carbonation, long finish.

Aug 14, 2009 Oh this is good... it’s like a sweet American strong with the coffee and roast of a stout and the wonderful complexities of a bourbon oak aged beer... weird... but good! Everyone should try this awesome beer!

Aug 13, 2009 Bottle. Pours thick and dark like an imperial stout. Resinous with aromas of roasted malt, alcohol, chocolate and vanilla. Flavors of chocolate, cherry, raisin, a bit of coffee, toffee, bourbon and a lot of roasted sweet maltiness. The sweetness and complexity helps to balance out the high alcohol content. Thick and velvety mouthfeel. Interesting and enjoyable.

Aug 12, 2009 Tap: dark brew with no head. Spicy, nutty taste that reminds me of soy sauce (I know it’s strange). Not a bad flavor, just a unique one. don’t think I could drink much more than the 4oz sampler because the alcohol is huge in this one.

Aug 8, 2009 Bottle from Utobeer. Very dark brown with a small beige head. Lovely coffee, chocolate and vanilla aroma. Fruity, even with a hint of vinous bubblegum, as well as vanilla and some roast. Chocolate. Alcoholic. Full-bodied and flat. Quite unique.
