Aug 24, 2009 Black color! Solid body. Whisky in aroma and taste. Good, but not worth the $9+ price!

Aug 24, 2009 330 ml bottle. Black body with lasting brown head. Roasted sweet and chocolate aroma. Some ash in scent, too. Oily and sticky mouthfeel, lasting bitterness and taste. Flavour has roasted sweet choco and some raisins, little port vineish.

Pours a BLACK oil with a thin white head. Aroma is a deep raison and coffee with some booze and whiskey thrown in. Flavor is black coffee, whiskey, oak barrels, and warming alcohol. My only complaint with this beer is the palate. It is thin and a little watery, especially considering the way it looks. Otherwise, great beer.
CapnCascade (116), Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada
Aug 20, 2009 Very dark brown pour, orange tinges where the light comes in. Very slight tan head with a touch of retention around the edge of the glass and bits of lacing here and there. Nose develops wood, resin, raisins, cocoa, plums, figs, Demerara sugar. Wood, cocoa and peat flavors predominate, some resinous alcohol; moderate herbal-bitter finish. Full body, good carbo. Good stuff.
Rastacouere (5551), Montréal, Quebec, Canada
Aug 13, 2009 Almost black pour covered by a fine beige layer. Roasty, heady old ale approaching an imperial stout in terms of chocolate and dark malts stature, but fairly sweet and fruity (grapes, plum, fig and the likes). It grows a certain molasses stickiness on the palate which is otherwise silky and very round. The alcohol climbs on the palate swiftly and rapidly to the head afterwards. There is a lot of it for an 8% beer. Subtler smoke and wood character than the 12, but more roast and alcohol. I’m afraid I enjoyed the 12yr old more. That makes sense since the same goes for the Highland Park scotches.

Dark opaque pour w/ a wispy tan head
Hints of oak & vanilla hints of raisin lots of sweet sugars .
Good pal a bit thin for what it is supposed to be
Lots of dark fruit plum fig hard raisin flavors subtle wood dryness in the finish hints of sugar’d alcoohl good but lacking definition.
Definitively not worth the price tag.

Jul 31, 2009 Pours a dark brown body with a thin ring of tan head. Awesome flavors of smoke and bacon. Little dry on the finish.
Beer2000 (1775), Kristiansand, Norway
Jul 30, 2009 330 ml bottle. Black body with a rich, creamy beige head. Aroma of roasted malt and vanilla. Flavor is smooth, rich, sweet, dark malt, roasted, dry fruit, oak, hops, vanilla, molasses and whisky. Full bodied and a long and warming aftertaste. A masterpiece.
