Dec 23, 2008 Updated: Dec 24, 2008On tap at the bel air location. Poured into a pint glass, dark in color, good toffee colored head. Nice aroma of coffee, roasted malt. Taste reminds me of mikkellers breakfast stout or peche mortel. Lots of coffee taste, espresso, roasted malts, chocolate. No trace of the eight percent. Texture is smooth.... great beer.

Dec 20, 2008 Fairly thick, chewy. Roasted flavor of coffee. Very smooth, but with strong burnt flavors. Tasty. Perhaps tied with their barleywine.

Dec 10, 2008 Strong flavors of dark chocolate, roasted barley, sweet grainy coffee, and molasses. No alcohol taste or aroma - very smooth and drinakable. Full-bodied without being overly thick and syrupy. Outstanding - probably my favorite from Duclaw.

Jul 18, 2008 I know the bottle was infected, but as I have had difficulty obtaining another bottle I’m going to hold this rating here until I can try it again.
The aroma is tart and sickly sweet fruit, but all the dark roasted aromas you expect are beneath that. The body is black with a decent mocha head. Tart turned fruit. Sickly tasting. Soured and off with some muddled dark roast and chocolate flavors. The oak aged version I had was in great shape.

Jun 28, 2008 Thanks to Naven for sharing this at toncather’s tasting. Aromas of chocolate and burnt malts. Flavors were similar with hints of coffee and more burnt malt flavors. Pretty tasty.

May 12, 2008 With all the talk about infection, I was very worried opening this. It definitely had a sourness on the nose and in the flavor, but it’s tough to say whether or not this was due to some sort of infection or if this was the intention. Either way, it was still pretty good. A full bodied, nice stout with some lingering hoppiness and sourness.

May 9, 2008 Bottle at toncatcher’s. Pours a dark brown with a yellowish head. Light sweetness with some bitternes. Also a bit of tartness(?) Light hoppy notes. Hint of cask wood and coffee. Medium bodied. Soft carbonation.
