Oct 15, 2009 @Freaktoberfest from bottle, pours dark brown almost opaque with a nice mocca color head, aroma of cheese, herbs, malt, cherry liquor and notes of grapefruit, flavors of caramel, honey, maple syrup, molasses, wood, tobacco and even glue like flavors (did I ever taste glue ;-) ), smooth thick and very complex. What a brew

Oct 9, 2009 Pours dark brown, almost black with a tan head. Aroma is prunes and raisins. Taste is smoke, ash, alcohol, chocolate, caramel, and raisins. Earthy taste. Surprisingly smooth and not too heavy for a beer with so much alcohol. Carbonation is higher than expected, but not distractingly so. Damn good beer that demands respect - not to be chugged. Very enjoyable.

Oct 9, 2009 Aroma is smoke and leather, with some apple and a distinctive off-aroma that I recall from a batch of homebrew I had go bad (soured). Beer pours brown with a good amount of light brown fluffy head. Taste is leather and some sour. Really very disappointing.

Oct 5, 2009 Pours dark reddish brown with a thin foamy tan head. Notes of dates, leather, red wine, citrus, chocolate and salty meats. Heavy bodied with lively carbonation.

Oct 5, 2009 Updated: Dec 6, 2009Black caramel, sweet tobacco, and smoked cedar flow through the nose. A dark brew with an absolutely knockout, creamy head. Flavor is colossal. True to the nose, but with smoke-tanned leather, chocolate, earth, and figs interwoven. Quite viscous but amazingly smooth. Bold and rich without being cloying at all. This ages beautifully, so grab a few bottles and conduct your own experiment. This is a gem that I cannot recommend highly enough.

Oct 2, 2009 An amazing beer. Dark fruits and caramel mixed with mild vanilla. Batch 51 rather aged sample. Dark chocolate and some sweet maltiness. Also a little rum and maple syrup. Very complex and balanced.

Oct 1, 2009 Batch 70 served at room temp thanks to petematte. Deep brown almost black with a khaki head. Rich caramel malts, vanilla and dark fruits on the nose. Great on the palate with a big caramel flavor that blends into dark fruits with a vanilla finish.
