KSBF 08- Deep dark wood pour with a tan head. Vanilla, coffee oak roast which carries into the pallet. Sweetness blends with the overall texture but pretty mellow. Great all around.

Aroma and taste are both nice and sweet: chocolate, vanilla, caramel, coffee, and does anyone else taste a hint of raspberry (maybe I’ve had one too many)? Little to no hops, short finsh, could use a bit more body, but its very smooth and drinkable.

Bottle, bottled 6/10/04. Aroma distinctly of raisinets, chocolate and raisins sure, but very specifically raisinets. Flavor continued to be chocolatey with the sweet fruity notes, and a bunch of vanilla, just a touch of oak, overall quite sweet. Quite old obviously, would like a fresher bottle, but certainly an interesting treat it was.

Bottle courtesy of sloth, bottled 6/10/04. Pours black with a minute tan head. Aroma and flavor of Raisinettes and vinegar. I’m not sure if this beer went bad or if it’s supposed to taste like this, but either way, yuck! Hopefully I can get a fresher bottle of this to re-rate.

Pours a dark coffee brown with a caramel head that fades quickly. Sweet coffee and light caramel aroma. Strong coffee blast at first that gets enveloped with woody flavors that linger with an earthy roastiness. Thin body for big tastes.
