May 15, 2008 My 1000th rating. 11.2 oz. brown bottle, comes in a special black box, with a metal seal around the neck. Bottle number 09563. Bottled Sept. 2007. Poured out an inky black color, with a 1/2" thick mocha colored head. Aromas are of whiskey barrel, Highland Scotch, vanilla, roasted espresso beans.
Flavors are of Highland Scotch, oak barrel, roasted coffee beans, vanilla, burnt sugars, earthy hops. Thick mouthfeel, rich and chewy. Flavors linger on your tongue for a good long while after drinking it.
Damn good beer by any standard.
Good pick for my 1000th rating too.

Jul 31, 2008 33 cl, bottle # 09386, Sept 07. Another opaque black pour with the creamiest, inch thick head this side of nitro. Aroma is smoky, piquant hickory with caramel, vanilla and cocoa. Flavor is smoky hickory, caramel, vanilla and milk chocolate turning to sherry and cured tobacco. Medium-heavy body is smooth, sticky, and slightly drying on the finish. If this (and the other O. D.s) weren’t so expensive I could drink it till I drowned.

Jun 13, 2008 This smells like a nice stout. This it crazy. It alternates between thick and thin. Sweet and with an initial bite that mellows out. This is the hoppiest of the three oddly. Excellent.

Mar 8, 2008 Loving Scotch and Loving Beer...there is nothing better than this. High price, fine. It is worth it. Perfectly balanced barrel flavour with a delicious dark beer. Not as sweet as those beers aged in former bourbon casks. I’ll pop a number on this one with no problem.

May 4, 2008 On tap at Newport Pizza and Ales in OB, San Diego, CA--Wow! Midnight black body with a swirly and bubbly beige and gray head. Bourbon, wooden nose that jumps out. Good level of carbonation. Dry, boozy, and clean. Smoky tobacco notes. Assertive and delectable!

Apr 13, 2008 Poured into a delerium tremens snifter, this blaxk oil expession was a rich dark brown, almost black pour with faint brown head. Peat and faint whiskey oak on the aroma. A little vanilla in there with rich sweet malt as well. A rich creamy body with a distinct whiskey flavor. A dry peaty finish. Bloody fantastic.

Nov 30, 2009 Rating 2000. Sampled from an 11.2 oz brown bottle this beer poured thick, black and oily with a medium sized dark brown head. The aroma was full of chocolate, vanilla, wood, tobacco and touches of floral and fruity hops. The flavor was woody, malty and had notes of port wined, vanilla, smoke, tobacco, cream and malted milk. Subtle, refined and complex. The finish was long and interesting. Smooth and creamy body. Excellent.
