Jan 12, 2009 Pours near black with a smallish dark tan head. The aroma is full of chocolate and caramel, very sweet and rich smelling. The taste is big chocolate and caramel as well, with a nice slightly bitter finish and a nice velvety texture. Very good.

Jan 11, 2009 Bottle purchased at Blind Tiger. Much darker pour than expected with very little head. Very different smell, which I’m assuming is coming from the aged wood. Taste of roasted malts with a bit of chocolate. Alcohol is well hidden which gives this a well balanced taste. Will definitely look to drink again.

Jan 10, 2009 Bottle. Good aroma. Dark appearance. Great flavors. Can taste the alcohol. Very good beer, hard to find, I was skeptical about a big brown ale but it is one of the best.

Jan 10, 2009 Aroma is raisin, chocolate, nuts, malt, and alcohol. Pours a deep dark chocolate with a small, almost non-existent roasted brown head.
Interesting flavor. Somewhat smoky, somewhat fruity. Unique and polished experience. Just a touch of warmth. Nice, subtle yet bold flavor of sweet raisin and chocolate with a twist of smoke.

Jan 10, 2009 (bottle - 12 oz) Dark black pour with a thick tan head. Aroma is very sweet with lots of caramel and oak. Some alcohol. Flavor is very sweet and strong with lots of alcohol., malts, candy, dough, and a random taste of paint thinner at the end. Alcohol is very present and doesn’t hide well at all.
