Nov 15, 2009 Seriously thick and complex beer. A little bit expensive, even by Dogfish Head standards. This was definitely different than your average beer.

Nov 13, 2009 A dark black beer with no head. The aroma was dark fruits, & alcohol giving it some characteristics of wine. The taste was grapes & was more like the peels of darker fruits. A sipper for sure for after dinner.

Nov 12, 2009 Draught. Snifter.
Appearance was very black, medium chestnut colored head with good staying power and nice lacing.
Smell was chocolate chips, the bitter kind that you use for baking.
Taste was slightly sweet, started with cocoa and progressed to coffee and then finished with a bit of smokiness.
Wonderful body.
This one should definitely be sought out.

Nov 11, 2009 Updated: Nov 28, 200911th May 2008. Jet black beer with no real head. Soft and smooth palate. Distinct banana and bubblegum tones riding over a lighly toasted malt background. Aromatic, almost minty vanilla note riding alongside. Different.
5th Aug 2008. On tap at GBBF. Lovely raspberry and blueberry sweet start with aromatic malt. Sourish woody finish. Liked this a little better than the bottle.

Nov 9, 2009 [Bottle] Pours a viscous looking deep brown with a medium frothy tan head. Aroma is slightly woody, lots of sweetness and alcohol, chocolate, and some ancho pepper. Flavor is super thick and quite sweet, like drinking thick, dry cocoa power, super chocolatey beer. The pepper is in there too, along with plentiful malt sweetness and alcohol.

Nov 9, 2009 [12oz bottle] Dark brown with a low tan head - this beer looks thick. Oak, vanilla, sweet dark fruity nose with some alcohol notes. Sweet and malty taste with little hop influence. Smooth and heavy mouthfeel, warming down the throat from the alcohol but quite drinkable.
