Nov 18, 2006 12-oz. Thanks, 46er3498! Jet black. A little swirl of brownish, nearly orange head. No visible carb. No lace. Truly a gargantuan chocolate nose. You think someone’s baking fudge. Thick but not sticky body. Hint of velvety carb. Smoke, vanilla and coffee on the mid-palate, especially as the finish takes hold. Mostly chocolate throughout the palate, though. Light smoky bitter finish. Awesome stuff.

Sep 12, 2007 Updated: Mar 25, 2009Huge thanks to boboski for this bottle of liquid glory.
12oz’er bottled on 07/03/06 consumed about a year later. Dark to darkest pour and thin brown head. I usually take in the aroma before a taste but just the look of this beer overcame me and demanded a sip (I’m weak). Cripes! This luscious a taste shouldn’t be legal. OK, back to the aroma. The nose is pretty darn big with some bourbon, wood, rich coffee mixed with sweet molasses, dark chocolate, burnt malts and brownies swimming in a thin layer of alcohol. This elixir sludges across my palate with a thick ponderous mouth feel. The taste is much like aroma with bourbon, oak and alcohol starting off. Then the sweeter notes arrive with molasses, sweetened coffee then hints of caramel and toffee. Into the finish the burnt flavors build into sort of burnt fudge brownies sensation. Wow, the after taste goes on forever. YUMM!

Jan 29, 2009 Thick oily black pour, low dark brown head. Very rich complex aroma and flavours of chocolate, beef broth, whiskey, charred wood, and vanilla. Thick chewy mouthfeel. Medium bitter finish. Alcohol is almost entirely hidden. Absolutely perfect marriage of the ’liquor-and-beer’ concept. Phenomenal. Wow do I ever want more of this!

Aug 28, 2005 Very little head; appearance like a World Wide Stout, though lighter in color, can see through the edges a half an inch in. I totally see what Markus said, toasted marshamallow, but also some toasted coconut. Grilled salmon aroma, too. Reasonably smooth, although not intensely so. A little odd, making my jar pucker, but over time it smoothens out and I’m loving the late coconut finish.

Nov 28, 2008 Small sample @ Brewtopia! Viscous opaque black pour with tan top. Lovely. Slight oxidation throughout gives an extra set of balls. Smooth, creamy and clean--a delight, can’t wait to get my hands on more of this.
