Bottle batch 67. Very dark brown with a big frothy durable head. Aroma is a roasty caramel and dark fruit. Complex sweet, bitter flavor that is so smooth and easy going its a little scary. Full bodied, smooth and good carbonation. This is a beer I could never get bored with.

Pours a dark dark brown with a light brown head. Aroma is light and fruity, like plum or raisin. Flavor is warm and smooth. hints of chocolate and raisin. Velvety texture. Delicious.

Bouteille de 355 ml partagé avec jerc et Mabel, à Volo (Toronto), le 12/7/08. Brune ruby, peu de collet. Arome de fruits rouges sûrettes, notes de porto. Goût de fruits mures, bien malté et un peu sûrette. Une autre bière débile!

Batch 70 from my secret santa. Thanks! Dark brown, viscous pour with a creamy two finger head. Hoppy, chocolatey aroma, earthy with some subtle dark fruits. Taste is very similar with some citrus, spice and caramel as well. Thick body.

Updated rating from a batch 56 bottle thanks to JB175. Pours an extremely dark ruby/brown with a billowing and long lasting beige head. Aromas of huge smoky roasty malt, butter, oak, cherry, creamy, dark burnt caramel, even some blue cheese(could be from my dinner though). Flavors of smoke, meat, plum, wood, more dark fruit. Extremely creamy and perfect carbonation. This one is just amazing with age.</br>
Bottle Batch 70. I wanted to wait on this one but I couldn’t resist. I poured it at fridge temp but drank most of it at around room temp. Pours a very dark brown with a short lasting but big fluffy light brown head. A huge nose on this one; tobacco, burnt/over-roasted malts, chocolate, dark fruits, and a slight alcohol burn. Huge chocolate and tobacco flavor followed by the burnt malts and dark fruit with a warming effect after downing it. Nice and smooth, medium-heavy mouthfeel with low to medium carbonation. Very pleasant end of the evening beer. </br>

Bottle. Deep brown pour with very little head, almost flat. Big, well-balanced aroma of figs, plums, and booze. Complex, but not overpowering flavors of dark fruits, sugar, toast, smoke, a bit of coffee, and a warm, smooth alcoholic finish. Not a session beer by any means, but delicious and pairs with a steak to perfection.

Dark brown pour with a small ring of head. Big dark fruit and roasted malt in the aroma. Lots of flavors going on. Definately sweet malt and ripe fruit, along with a touch of smoke and molasses. Bit of hops and lots of alcohol on the finish. This would definately benefit from some age. But really a wonderful brew.

Bottle. Pours a dark brown with zero head or carbonation. Nose is dark sweet fruits, molasses and mild roasted coffee beans. Taste is much like the aroma with some smoky, earthiness added. Full, creamy mouth feel. Very good and complex.
