Nov 6, 2009 BLACK - black oil is right. No head to speak of but a few bubbles can be stirred up with a little shake. Big rich raisiny nose, plums, toffee, roasty and sweet with a hint of whiskey and vanilla. Dry roasty flavor, a hint of earthiness to this. Slight burn from alcohol but blends well. Sharp on the tongue. Palate actually thin for style. Aroma is the real treat but the beer is full of flavor

Nov 4, 2009 (Bottle) Dark brown colour, almost black with brief, pale brown head. Roasted, malty nose with smoke, vanilla, oak wood, chocolate, liquorice and dark rye bread. Malty, roasted taste with distinct notes of oak wood and vanilla, followed by dark rye bread, liquorice, chocolate, sherry and a touch of smoke. Bittersweet finish. Slightly more than medium body, smooth mouthfeel with some sweetness. Excellent oak wood character. Very nice beer.

Nov 1, 2009 JET black, thick, engine oil...or grease. A sipper at best, this crazy and obscenely priced blended stout is bursting with malt whiskey cask character. BIG everything. Let this one breathe for at least 30 minutes or an hour before even coming close to it. Absolutely amazing, don’t let the cat near this one.

Oct 27, 2009 Bottle. Pours black with a small, fizzy light brown head, somewhat lasting with spare lacing. Aroma is heavy malt (molasses, roasted grain, chocolate), average hop (flowers, perfume), average yeast (leather) with notes of light alcohol, prune, wood, tar, and vanilla. Full bodied, alcoholic texture, average carbonation, and a bitter finish. Long duration, moderate sweetness, heavy acidity and bitterness.

Oct 24, 2009 bottle, pours black with a thin to medium tan head. Sour prune and black cherry aroma with some cocoa and port wine. Roasted malt and dark bitter malt body lots of whiskey heat and flavor with some vanilla and oakyness. Nice, but I would love to see if the 16 or 30 are smoother.
