 Nuffield (2718), Roseville, Minnesota, USA
May 9, 2009 This is rich, enjoyable beer. The underlying beer is good enough, of course--rich, smooth, chocolate, fruity porter/stout, and then you get that strain of whisky and wood, reasonably well balanced. A little sweet, a little dry. The alcohol seems subdued. Excellent stuff.

May 4, 2009 Pours an easy to see through black with a small tan head. Aroma of wood, dark chocolate, honey, toffee, raspberry, light coffee, and just a bit of sweetish smoke. Tastes right on with dark chocolate, toffee, honey, wood, acidic coffee, vanilla, herb/spice or something; definitely a lot of whiskey notes, but no heat. Finishes with a gentle toast, coffee bean, earth, char-like smoke, and wood. Dry on the throat. Medium bodied, almost heavy, average carbonation, slick coating mouthfeel. This is great. Whiskey notes with NO heat, not too heavy, big flavors and subtle flavors together as one, there’s just nothing to dislike here. Awesome.

May 2, 2009 Bottle. My favorite of the 3 released. Pours a black body with a thin lacing. Coffee, hints of peat and whiskey notes. Subdued with a light chocolate and coffee accents, with a hint of fruit to finish. Good brew.

Apr 27, 2009 Updated: Apr 28, 2009Blackish with a big tight beige head. Very laid back aroma with plenty of vanilla, caramell and fudge and some roasted notes in the background. Flavour is similar with smooth whiskey notes. Body is slick, a bit too slick and kind overall not really filling the mouth enough here. Nice fairly long, sweet aftertaste.
