Sep 15, 2008 Bottle at the September Houston RB tasting. 2005 version. Dark copper, woody sweet nose. Very sweet, alcoholic, whiskey taste. Body is surprisingly light but viscous. Goes down very easy with just a bit of fading on the end. Nice beer to share.

Sep 9, 2008 Shared by bleeng at the September Houston Tasting. 2005 bottle. Pour is a mucky sand brown with a thin head. Aroma of honey and woody notes. Flavor is sweet, oaky malts with some hops. Creamy, light body with soft carbonation. Good now, but would liked to have tried fresh to see the difference.

Aug 16, 2008 12oz bottle. 2005. Aroma: Rich caramel, toasted malt, almonds, raisins. Lots of oak. Significant alcohol note. Appearance: Deep rusty brown in color and clear. Off-white head was full and foamy with good retention. Nice lacing. Flavor: Big oak note upfront. Vanilla, smoke, caramel, toasted nuts, dried fruits. Alcohol is a little hot at times. Starts sweet, a touch of bitterness midway through, and then finishes fairly dry. Palate: Medium-full bodied. Moderate carbonation. Lots of alcohol warmth in back of mouth and into throat. Overall: The name ain’t kidding. Strong oakiness throghout. A nice sipper. Alcohol could be toned down a touch.

Aug 10, 2008 poured clear chestnut with frothy white head. nose of aged malt, toffee, tobacco, peat, vanilla, raisins, and smoke. super thick malty flavors...lots of peat and smoke and sticky sweet and chewy caramel., thick creamy mouth, but seriously, it couldn’t get any maltier than this...this is a malt monster. there’s significant hop backing that is balanced and not overwhelming, but i think the beer could do without it though it might contribute to its aging, which i would highly recommend because this shit is going to be off the hook in 3 years. the alcohol is somewhat hot and if not for the hop bitterness, it could work with the maltiness...but hot bitterness is a slight distraction here. i dig it though.
