Jul 5, 2008 Dark, virtually opaque black, with a creamy coffee coloured foam. Liqueur chocolate prominent in the aroma, with a touch of alcohol coming through .On tasting it starts quite mild, but it builds up soon after with a long lasting bitterness that carries on well into the aftertaste. Unfortunately the body is just a little too weak to hold up to all this, with the flavours unsupported. A worthy drop though.

Jul 4, 2008 Bottle shared by Fidel, pours almost black with a thin tan head. The nose and the flavor are both quite roasted malt, and a bit medicine like. The finish is nice and smokey dry, but overall just O.K. As it warms, it goes a bit sour. Minus a tenth.

Jul 3, 2008 This is my first "Old Ale." Had on tap at the Bier Garden as the "Stout of the Week." Pours dark brown with a nice head that quickly dissipated with little lacing. Definitely roasted coffee and chocolate malts. Pretty good beer.

Jul 1, 2008 11.2oz. bottle: This one pours an opaque, dark brown color. There was a small tan head on it that dropped off quickly. Very little lacing. Some chocolate, coffee and roastiness to the nose. The taste is good. It borders on a full body. Taste is of chocolate malt, some coffee, dark fruits. A hint of bitterness in the finish. Very Nice!

Jun 28, 2008 I was very impressed with the amount of whiskey flavor that makes it into this beer, not only that but it is as though the finest aged single malt flavor. I wish I could rate this higher but frankly I found the flavors overwhelming, sometimes less is more.

Jun 26, 2008 Deep dark brown body with a light brown head. Rich dark chocolate on the aroma at first whiff then some vegemite. Taste has a little dark fruit happening, not quite medium body and the alcohol doesn’t stand out at all. Very easy to drink, certainly want more again but nothing too complex about it.
