Sep 22, 2009 Drank it with ghawener for my god daughter´s b-day. Wow. Complex. Multi layered flavors. Heavy bodied, almost syrupy. Changes with changes of temperature. Best enjoyable at warmer temperatures, chocolate, rum, fruits, molasses, etc, etc, etc.

Sep 21, 2009 Shared during some monday night football with curly, scottyp, and barrios. Thanks Lithy! Pours a very dark brown with thin layer of light brown head. Nose of dark berries, figs, anise. Flavor is very smokey, but like a husky smoke, not clean, with chocolate spices. A bit boozy, but not unpleasant. Extremely unique brew, but I’m not certain how much I actually enjoy it. Like the description suggests, I imagine this would go very well with a cigar.

Sep 21, 2009 Pours a fizzy tan head with a brown body. Aromas of dark bread and molasses. Flavors of dark bread, molasses, roasted, smoke, alcohol, ripe fruit. Some bitter cocoa and black, tannic tea on the finish. Complex. Every sip I taste something new.

Sep 19, 2009 Nose of black licorice, fresh hops, plum, soya sauce, raspberry and blackberry. Pours very dark brown with almost no head. Very rich flavor of apricot, prune, carmelized sugar and toffee. Delicious. It is a bit boozy, but not overpoweringly so, it has a nice warming.

Sep 11, 2009 Updated: Sep 24, 2009Batch 72. Bottle received as an extra in a trade with mkade8883. Thanks Matt! Deep brown color, looking damn near black in the glass, and pours with a nice fluffy tan-stone colored head. A thin foam of retention. The aroma is campfire smoke, roast, chocolate, coffee, dark fruit. Incredible nose and depth. The flavors are all over the place: tobacco, licorice, roast, tree bark, charcoal, chocolate, leather, finishing with a dash of piney hops. Chewy and quite peppery. My goodness. Interesting and very complex. Unlike anything I’ve ever had. A treat.

Sep 10, 2009 Pours fairly deep dark chestnut brown into my Stone Old Guardian glass. Huge aroma of plum wine and utter sweetness. Very deep aroma. Small tan head dissapates, but returns with a quick swirl. Flavor is rich dark fruit and chewy malt. Flavor is so rich and deep I could probably come up with a new flavor every sip. Chewy body but not overly thick. Just stellar body and sweet finish with a kiss of some hops. Beautiful beer.
