Bother Jeff brought this one to me at family reunion in Colorado. Several bottles to share. Wonderful dark, slightly cloudy look with tan head. Inviting aroma of a milky way bar. Chocolate malt and alcohol from a wooden cup drank by a smoky fire flavor. Nice bitter finish.

Wow, this is one hell of a beer. Big bold smoky flavor, kind of like applewood, or something. Smells a little sweet like there’s maple syrup. Finishes with a hearty bitterness and coats the inside of my mouth which lingers long after the liquid is gone. This is a great beer.

batch 55. true gusher, haven’t had one of those in a while! but then it pours fairly flat with virtually no head. very dark pour, very viscous. lots of sweet malt and smoke on the nose. flavor is nice and hearty, smokey, rich. a good beer, but not quite my thing. seems like a good thing to leave at your cabin in alaska where you only make it to every few years.

Bottle->honker: pours a creamy, thick offwhite head atop a black body. Sweet, floral aroma. Full body, flavor’s duration is long and finishes nicely, albeit being very sweet. A good winter brew, but don’t expect to have more than 1 or 2.

Bottled 355ml. -from City Beer Store, San Francisco. Batch No 72.
Dark brown coloured, medium sized beige head, malty alcoholic nose with notes of figs. Sweet roasted malt, dried fruits and chocolate with notes of wood and smoke. Very good beer but in my opinion a bit too sweet. All in all 6.99$ is reasonable price for this brew.

A long time coming, so glad I had this last night with my buddy. Pours a wicked dark colour, slightly cloudy, with a big tan head. Aroma is appealing in every way. Alcohol is noticeable. Some heavily roasted malts and sweet enticing dark chocolate on the nose. Taste is full. Creamy, smooth but rich and very filling. just a bit of hotness from the alcohol, otherwise a very balanced beer. Love these strong ales, reminded a bit of a barleywine.

From a bottle poured brown with a good amount of head. Nice malty flavor a little sweet with a lasting aftertaste.

Adrian was kind enough to split this wonderful brew with me, though I think he poured more into his glass and was constantly trying to steal mine. But back to the beer rating. This beer pours a dark brown colour with a beige head. The aroma is worthy of a lingering sniff, perhaps several. The aroma is of chocolate, oak(?), molasses, alcohol, darks fruits, malts, and hops. Great smooth and creamy flavour of dark fruits, dark chocolate, malts, wheat and hops. It truly is a great dessert beer. I paired it with apple pie. Yummy!
