Bottled, SBWF 2009.
Near black colour with brown head. Rich, spicy nose: fünf kräuter, menthol, eucalyptus, ginger, juniper, clove, very complex. Flavourwise like a stout with menthol och variation of x-mas herbs. Mouthfeel is very rounded. Not sure what the Palo Santo wood did to this beer, except for an elegant woody touch along with a mature flavour.

Dec 23, 2009 Dark brown pour with a small head. Aroma is sweet, slightly earthy, some wood and molasses. Flavor is sweet, some alcohol, wood and faint spice with the caramel sweetness. Nice and malty overall just what I like.

Dec 22, 2009 Bottled. darker dark brown with thin head. sweet chocolate and coffee dominate nose and flavor keeps these notes and adds booze, wood, and caramel and lighter citrus. End is weird and original with dry feel leaving a filmy feel in the mouth. Big bodied and oily texture. A weird but definitely creative offering.

Dec 21, 2009 Shazzam! Whoaaaa, nelly bell! Stupendous beer! Not exactly a brown ale as friend Euel says, it’s brown and it’s an ale. Ok. ’nuff said on that. But it pours with a small tan head and some lace. Color is an opaque dark, almost black, brown. Aroma is very rich and earthy, fecund, licorice, old leather, and bittersweet. Flavor’s the same but more full and luxurient. Kim Jong Il would love this beer. Hail, feerless leader. Body is velvety smooth and enticing. Almost too rich. Not a session beer. Atlantic Monthly had a great article on brewmaster.

Dec 20, 2009 Bottle. Pours black with a thin brown head. Aroma is composed of roasty, coffee, and woody aspects with just a little alcohol. Taste is fairly bitter accompanied by a high alcoholic mouthfeel and a little carbonation.

Dec 19, 2009 Poured pitch black. Sweet malty aroma. Very sweet. Roast malt and caramel taste with notes of oak and vanilla. A bit boozy, but very well done.

Dec 15, 2009 bottle from midway mart in denton, tx. poured a maroonish black/dark brown with a tan head leaving some lace on the glass, also had some decent legs. aroma was caramel, red wine, grape, raisin, and what seemed to be a woody character. flavor was chocolate, grapes, other dark fruits, alcohol, and a nice little dry bitter on the finish. body was medium with about medium carbonation. all in all i liked this one.

Dec 12, 2009 Deep, dense brown pour with a head the colour of a fisherman’s arms. Huge aroma of roasted brown sugars and alcohol. Everything about this brew is shades of brown. Brownies, toasted brown sugar, dark sweet dried fruits, and Pacific hops all found here in abundance. Wonderfully creamy and intense meant to be savoured sip by sip. DFH has a challenge to Stone now. Where can I get some of the wood?
