Served from a 12oz bottle via trade with BitterBrian on BA. Appearance is a deep brown/black with loads of bubbles along the sides and a thin light brown head. The aromas are full, semi-sweet chocolate, roasted malts, lactose, powdered sugar, smoke. The flavors are on their way down but still has some nice full of roasted malts, raisins, burnt wood, chocolate. A solid beer but past its prime.

Oct 14, 2009 12oz bottle courtesy of riversideAK – thanks Alex! Pours deep dark brown with almost no head. The nose is dark fruit, cocoa, roasted malt and booze. The taste is sour milk up front, but that fades to ashy cocoa, toasted malt and light coffee. Lighter mouthfeel than expected. This one may have a bug or two in it. Still tasty.

Sep 4, 2009 12 oz. bottle - thanks to eclectic for the trade; clear, dark brown with thin off white head; aromas of very sweet candy sugar, touch of butter, nuts and rich malts; flavors well faded with age and nothing interesting going on; sweet toffee baltic flavors with thin texture and some sweetness and dark fruit; was expecting more, but this is plenty old at this point

Aug 13, 2009 Majestic thanks goes out to FROTHINGSLOSH for this special brew! Had the pleasure of sampling this at the 7/9/2009 Pittsburgh RB tasting extravaganza (PGHRBEXT) at the Sharp Edge Creekhouse. It will be a long time, if ever I see a spread of bottles like I did there. I am not good enough for the beers that were that we served! For example, how about this beer; heavyweight hammer 2006! Barely any aroma, but what I do smell is a little off. Starts off really strong on the palate then goes somewhat astray. Weird! Some smooth carbonation, but just barely. I think I can’t really describe this experience, very unique. I don’t know what to really say about this brew. Rude finish. On style, even this old.

Aug 12, 2009 This one was sampled a bit old, mind you, slightly oxidized it seemed, but not quite sure. Poured a dark dark brown color with a lgiht tan head. Aroma was sweet roasted malts, but not burned, and some dark chocolate as well. Flavor was somewhat sweet chocolate, slightly roasted but thinned and a bit ruined by the oxidation.

Aug 11, 2009 This one has seen better days. Had this one at the RB Pittsburgh tasting. That said, there is a good beer under the oxidation.
