| 4.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 9/10 | 5/5 | 9/10 | 3/5 | 20/20 | May 12, 2007 This beer is everything, a yummy drinkable barkeywine, with an exceptional complexity of bourbon, whisky, vanilla, and wood. A strong ale, this is an evening 12% and it is drinkable yet deserves sipping, after several minutes of aroma.. All kinds of hops, spearmint, peppermint.

| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | May 11, 2007 Bottle. Pours a muddy brown, near black, body with a bubbly white head. Dark fruity aroma with bread and vanilla-bourbony notes. Overwhelming alcohol in the flavour accompanied by chocolate malt and some hoppy orange flavour. Lots of oak influence and sugary sweetness. Decent but quite big and potent. joohefner (380), Isla Vista, California, USA

| 4.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 9/10 | 4/5 | 9/10 | 3/5 | 18/20 | Apr 29, 2007 Sampled at the Woodshop Tasting. Poured a dark brown color with a small head. Aroma was huge oak with toffee, caramel, dark fruits, smoke, vanilla and alcohol. The flavor was full of the same, so complex and easy drinking for such a high alcohol. holdenn (1443), Chicago, Illinois, USA
| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Apr 26, 2007 22 oz big thanks to drewbeerme for this sample. Pours a mahogany black in color with almost no head. Interesting nose smoke, toffee, coffee, vanilla ... hmmm .. reminds me of a our homebrew werewolf flanders ... The flavors are complex black licorice, toffee, some dark fruits, candied sugar tar, and pine, opening up more and more as it warms to room temperature. I’m enjoying most of these "ten" beers and although this one is a lot different than others I’ve had. I am a big fan of the depth and array of flavors. A decent brew.
