Bottle: Pours to a totally opaque, deep dark brown that is near-black in the body, with a very small light brown head that quickly fades. The aroma is milk chocolate, light hints of blackberries, mild coffee, roasted wheat (no kidding), with mild hints of wood and anise. Taste is sweet wheat, roasted, almost burned grains, coffee, bittersweet chocolate, with touches of licorice, smoked apple wood, vinous dark grapes, and a flavor I can only describe as that early morning campfire "taste" (yes, ok, you don’t taste campfire..but that smell is what this flavor is like). Finishes with extended smokey roasted malt flavors and some residual sweetness (not much) from the wheat. Full bodied, thick in the mouth, mild carbonation in the form of tiny bubbles that feels like this one was bottle-conditioned. Nice take on the style.

Dec 19, 2009 Close to black with a small light brown head. Aroma is fruity with light roasted notes of coffe and chocolate. Flavour is very fruity, "bright" and yeasty with very mellow acidic roasted notes. Has a good bitterness and roasted kick in the finish with lingering fruit notes. Rather mellow and uncomplicated.

Dec 18, 2009 Deep chestnut color with a medium tan head that lasts a long time, and leaves good lacing.
Aroma of bourbon and oak.
Great maltiness with notes of caramel, but not overly sweet; well-balanced. Light spice in the background.
Very good body.
Excellent brew overall, to be sought after. Best beer of the night at Churchkey.
