Jan 15, 2009 330 mL. Pours pitch black with a small dark tan head that thins out to a layer. Fairly good lacing through the drink. Nose of black licorice, cocoa powder, alcohol, tobacco, faint coffee. Taste has some warming alcohol up front with good balancing hops to cover the 9.5% Lots of roasted malt and espresso flavors as well. Aftertaste is bitter, long, and dry. Some oily mouth coating. Slightly acidic and alcoholic for my tastes.

Jan 12, 2009 Bottle. Pours a dark brown with little head. Aromas are very fruity, but the figs and and prunes that are present in the nose disappear from the flavor almost completely. Cream, chocolate, oatmeal and tobacco are the driving forces here with alcohol being detectable in the finish.

Jan 9, 2009 Poured a dark black with a fizzy/frothy brown head. Faint aroma of some dark fruits, some tobacco, and some roasty chocolate. Flavor follows but feels more complex than the aroma, with some bitter roasted chocolate, some dark coffee, some sweet pipe tobacco, with a dry finish that is only mildly alocholic. Touch of acidity in the fruit flavor. Not sure if that’s an intended flavor or due to the years I’ve held on to this in my cellar.
