Apr 20, 2008 22oz. Bottle. Pours deep blackish brown with a fairly nice brown head. Aroma is chocolate and coffe. Taste is a very deep and appealing malt with vanilla and oak. This beer dances on your palate. The balance of alcohol an hops is nicely executed.

Apr 19, 2008 Black body with a firm coffee head. Aroma deepens with aeration into a wonderful, complex chocolate and bourbon coffee roast with a vinousness. The flavor is similar and with a nice woodiness. Tastes like a bourbon barrel aged beer with a definite vanilla note. Nicely accomplished.

Apr 18, 2008 Bottle. Pour is thick black and oily, with a two finger brown head that lasts for a short time and leaves heavy lacing around the glass. Aroma is large, oak, coffee, roasted malt, chocolate, vanilla, and caramel dancing nicely off of one another. Taste is very smooth with notes of malt, coffee, chocolate, and oak really taking the forefront while the vanilla, oak, and caramel play gleefully in the background. Wonderful stout that will be a favorite of mine for years to come.

Apr 17, 2008 Pours a beautiful black with a thick brown head. Astonishing nose of malt, chocolate, vanilla, and coffee. Amazing flavors of malt, chocolate, roasted coffee, and just about anything else you might imagine in a stout. Probably the best stout I have had this year. Seek this out.

Apr 16, 2008 Pours deep black with lacy brown head. Aromas of rosted malt, alcohol, and chocolate. Flavors of coffee, chocolate, oak, malt, and alcohol. Intense brew here. Great flavors for a stout, like it should be.

Apr 15, 2008 22oz Bomber poured into a snifter. Pours completely black, opaque with a dark tan head. Aroma is woody and grassy with a touch of chocolate. Beer is thick with a nice, full mouthfeel. Flavor is slightly sweet with a touch of earthiness, chocolate. Also very prevalent is the taste of the oak wood. It lends a bourbon-like flavor. The hops come through in the end for a pretty dry, bitter finish. Good but I’m not sure it’s worth the 50% price premium.

Apr 15, 2008 A deep black color with hints of brown, a small beige head forms and disappates quickly. The sweet smell of malt and chocolate, with the added aroma of charred wood, that also adds a vanilla scent. The hops are in there in the aroma, but seem to be over powered by the wood and alchol aromas. The flavor brings in the aromas on the palate with the hops being more prevalent in the taste. The oak wood flavor becomes stronger after every sip. In the mouth it feels a little thinner than the non aged Yeti, alot like skim milk, with some evidence of carbonation, but not alot. This is a drinkable beer, but drink slowly. The strong alchol, flavors and texture, make this a sipping beer by a nice warm fire.
