Dec 2, 2005 If you like ports and bitter stoudts, this is your beer. Deep black color with very little carbonations. Tart taste reminds of a bad, cheap wine.

Nov 30, 2005 Bottle-2002 vintage from HWC: Almost pure black with burgandy hues and just a wisp of tan head. Aroma is wine like with dark fruit and a hint of whiskey. Flavor starts sweet burgandy with a touch of chocolate turning lightly tart and finishing kinda dry with some cherry tartness.
Medium bodied, creamy, smooth , lightly carbonated.

Nov 23, 2005 Pours a black color with a small head and moderate amounts of lasting lacing. Aroma is strong and hot with hints of oak and whiskey. Flavor is really damn good, not to strong but appropriately warm with whiskey, chocolate and a slight malt hint in the flavor.

Nov 16, 2005 Pours jet black with as much head as one would expect from actual motor oil. Big nose of oak, whisky, licorice, and hot alcohol. Some diacetyl and a strange backing sweetness that almost smells artificial (it’s very faint, at least). The whisky flavor is overpowering up front, but then mellows out into excellence. The middle is smooth and chocolaty, and the finish is dry and oaky. If it weren’t for that bad beginning, it’d rival the Olde Suffolk.
