Apr 14, 2008 Draught at the 6th Boulder Strong Ale Festival. Pours opaque with an average, frothy, dark brown head, somewhat diminishing with fair lacing. Aroma is heavy malt (molasses, coffee), average hops (perfume), average yeast (leather) with notes of heavy alcohol and prunes. Full bodied, alcoholic texture, average carbonation, and a bitter finish. Long duration, moderate sweetness, acidity, and bitterness.

Apr 13, 2008 On tap. Poured a thick, deep brown color with a moderate, deep tan head. Aroma of chocolate, light coffee, vanilla, caramel, and bourbon. Flavor consisted of chocolate, roasted malts, caramel, vanilla, and a light spicy bourbon with a hint of alcohol on the finish, but I never would have guess 14%. Full and smooth on the palate. Definitely one of the highlights of the day.

Mar 14, 2008 I would have it again... but the first go was not impressive. Especially given the Firestone beers I have enjoyed. This one was a bit off-tasting, like old coffee and rather shallow.
