Jul 13, 2009 Bottle. Pours a deep midnight black with a disappearing brown head. Noise is rich oak, dried cherries and cranberries, and whiskey. Flavors are summer sausage at first then the whiskey comes to the front with a malty-ness to it. Really smooth mouth. I dig it, I think I liked the 12 better (that is all I have tried so far).

Jul 13, 2009 Bottle. Pours black with a tan head that diminishes rather quickly. The aroma has a lot of molasses and cocoa with a slight hint of whiskey. It’s somewhat thick with some mild carbonation. The initial flavour is the sweet molasses and cocoa. The brew doesn’t seem to have any change in flavour as it warms. On the contrary, it feels like it’s watering down. The carbonation also seems to affect the flavour if you allow the brew to sit too long. That’s kind of disappointing. As the brew passes bitter cocoa becomes more apparent with light notes of dark fruits. A nice sweet molasses counters the bitterness. Whiskey is somewhat evident and becomes a more defining flavour towards the finish. Alcohol also becomes more apparent towards the finish as well. The finish is lightly dry. This is really good, but I happen to think that it’s somewhat overrated.

Jun 19, 2009 Bottle. This beer was better than the 12 year old about the same as the 30 for a cheaper price. Will give the 18 a try.
