Jan 15, 2009 Pours black with a thin mocha head. Smells of rich chocolate, licorice, and coffee. Tastes of chocolate, coffee, dark fruits and some oak in the finish. I’ve been told this was past it’s prime. If it is I wish I could have tried it fresh.

Jan 11, 2009 2002 Vintage:
Pitch black coloured body with a nice dense brown head; fully opaque. Aroma of prunes, raisins, cherries, roasted malt, light coffee (south america), chocolate and a bit of cabbage. Light to Medium-bodied; Strong fruity taste of prunes and raisins fading to an inherent maltiness with a bit of spice on the side. Aftertaste shows mostly the raisiny flavour with some light malts and a very light-bodied finish for what the beer should have been. I’m not sure if the body faded with the age, but this is a lot lighter than expected. I sampled this 3 year old vintage purchased from Chevy Chase Wine & Liquors in Washington, D.C. on 25-December-2005.

Dec 12, 2008 Dark brown with a thin tan head. The smell is dominated by dark fruits, dark chocolate and bitter cherries. Taste is full of chocolate, dates and cherries again with a slightly woody note and some acidity in the finish. You could tell it had a little age but this was still exceptional.
