Jun 13, 2009 12 ounce bottle that I have had laying around for a bit. Poured a deep black color with absolutely no head. The aroma consisted of bitter chocolate, light coffee, some bourbon, roasted malt and soy. The taste reminded me a bit of a stout... it had a light taste of soy, some chocolate and coffee, roasted malt, and a hint of whiskey. It had a medium bodied mouth feel. It had a pleasant aftertaste with a slight whiskey lingering. Overall, a very interesting, and tasty brew!

Apr 22, 2009 Pours near black, perhaps very very dark brown with brown head.
Nose has a clean, marshmallowy roastiness at first. Start to notice some baking chocolate too after a few whiffs. Dark fruits are also present.
On the palate is baker’s chocolate, spirity/alcohol, and a smooth dark chocolate finish. The dark chocolate comes across in a dry way - not very sweet.
Finish is a little chalky and alcoholic.

Aroma is sweet and malty with notes of coffee, chocolate, bourbon, maple syrup, vanilla, wood, toffee, caramel, molasses, ripe dark fruit. Flavor is roasted and malty with notes of creamy vanilla, roasted and toasted malt, bourbon, wood, smoke, hints of toffee, brown sugar, and molasses. Generally medium to full body with a pleasing rich and malty finish.

Feb 22, 2009 Pitch black with a thick tan head. Aroma of smokey whiskey. Taste is slightly aged cardboard, dark roasty malt, vanilla, wood, chocolate, some sherry. Definitely a bit too old.

Dec 31, 2008 11.2 oz bottle. Black with a wispy tan head. Rich, malty nose, woody vanilla and roasty malt, dark molasses and whisky. Big sweet molasses flavors, roasty and peaty, a bit of earthiness and a hint of something tart. Chocolate flavors grow as it warms, and it seems to mellow out some, particularly the slight alcohol burn. Smooth, silky body that never seems too thick. Oddly, the finish is relatively clean, which surprised me a bit. Just a nice, warm, sweet smokiness. A winner!
