Apr 1, 2008 Batch Number 70: Dark brown in color this poured a thick tan head. Aromas were of vanilla, chocolate, caramel, raisens and campfire smoke. In the mouth it was rich, deep and long with great balancing carbonation that keeps it light on its feet. This is a really well rounded beer that has remarkable balance. I think time will help mellow it out and add a bit of complexity which would really knock it out of the park.

Mar 28, 2008 Updated: Apr 29, 2008Batch 68. Sick shit. So near-perfect it’s scary. Nose pierced through my stuffed up sinuses with wafts of black licorice and anise. Silky smooth palate. Intense roasted malt balanced by stupendous scrumptious hoppy finish. Rootsy. Bready, spine tingling, mind blowing, last rites desert island kind of beer.
Batch 33. Magnum at Dr. Bill’s. Smells hot. Pours muddy reddish-brown. Body, however, is exceptionally smooth with lots of caramelized pear, raisins, candied pecans. A tad sharp but nice nonetheless. My rating for this batch is 8-3-9-4-15. Rating still reflects Batch 68.

Mar 27, 2008 Batch number 70. Served cold from bottle. Pours jet black (no light comes through) with a huge tan-colored head. In fact, the head unexpectedly overflowed my pint glass. The aroma is thick with burnt malts and raisins. super-sweet flavor is rich with chocolate, wood and vanilla were very present. a shockingly powerful beer with a wholly unique flavor. a beer this fine could only be consumed alongside an entire sleeve of chips ahoy cookies.

Mar 26, 2008 Batch 70. Dirty and dark brown pour with tall, rich mocha head that leaves beautiful lacing around the glass. Warming aromas of wood, pitted fruits, muscat wine and raisins. Flavor is even better...smoke, chocolate, weak coffee and spices...all wrapped in a creamy finish. This beer is just as good as everyone says.
