Nov 29, 2008 Pours dark brown, almost black with the slightest hint of ruby and a nice looking tan head. Aroma is chocolate, roasted malt, toffee and molasses with some vinous qualities. Flavor is sweet and rich. Lots of residual sugars in the form of chocolate and molasses. Some dark fruit with massive roast. Balance is exceptional. Palate is creamy and full. Exceptionally crafted brew.

Nov 2, 2008 Aroma of smoke, bourbon, wood, sweet malts. Pours black with no head. Very rich porter-like with a thick,fruity head. I originally thought that it was too strong but it seems to grow on you. Vey rich and complex that seems to peak at room temperature. Good.
