Mar 26, 2008 Pours dark brownish/black with a thin tan head. Smells like a imp. stout, notes of chocolate, licorice, wood, some smoked peat and leather too. Mmmm, sweet creamy whiskey, chocolate, vanilla, and very little smoke flavors. The sweet creamy chocolate is really exceptional at cool temperature, followed by smoke as it warms. Dry and very long finish, slightly bitter, woody. Extremely creamy body that is faintly carbonated. Very delectable. [Now I have to try the 12 and 30 just to see... and will most likely affect this rating]

May 15, 2009 12 oz bottle. Pours an oily black color with a small light tan head that recedes to clear, teeny bubbles that eventually disappear. Nose is light roast malts, very dry, some very light hints of scotch and alcohol. Palate is smooth with a very dry finish and a filmy palate with a light alcohol note in the end. Flavors are light dark roast almost burnt malts with a hint of whiskey/scotch that doesnt over power. very well balanced. it is noticeable that the whiskey is there, but it does not take away any of the beer flavors nor does it over power with alcohol.

Apr 17, 2008 16 pours blackish with a modest head that slowly recedes leaving behind some fancy lacework. The head is not as spattered as the 12. The aroma has changed drastically here from the 12 giving off a more metallic peat smell w/ some sautéed mushrooms. Medium nectar weight with the same creamy soft effers. Moderate smoke and iodine flavors weave through a bittersweet palate. The worschester sauce is gone on this 16 and so is my family marinade recipe. Roasted coffee bean and a stronger chocolate factor annie up here more so than the 12. Some dry whiskey is featured more here than the 12. The finish is roasted and bittered to balance the sweet chocolate tobacco leaf.

Aug 27, 2008 Bottle cracks open with just a hint of carbonation and out pours some very thick and oily beer with just a hint a a dark tan head. Peat, fresh wood, and whiskey dominate the aroma. Taste is smooth and malty, but overly thick and cloying. Has a dry edge to it, some chocolate also. Finishes a little thick, but overall a very nice sipping drink and a unique beverage.

Feb 27, 2009 looks like a stout it’s so black. Like the 12, there is an aroma of soy sauce, and teriyaki beer jerky, but it’s not as prominent. There is much more oak, and smoke, and some charred wood in the aroma. The aroma in this one is much more complex. The flavor is also more complex. Lots of woody notes, some char, and smoke, and a touch of the beer jerky. The alcohol seems to be more upfront also, i’m getting some alcohol burn that i didnt get in the 12. I think i prefer this one, but not by much.
