From the Bottle at the GABF Colorado Convention Center, Denver 10/10/2008 Some whisky aroma. Dark red coloured and very strong in alcohol with a little dryness in a crisp and bitter malt finish.

On tap at The Rake, HogTownHarry visit May 2009. Very deep brown, almost black, thin tan head. Sweetish aroma Pretty good malt, nice bit of roasty toasty notes. I quite like it. It’s boozy, but fine, took me a bit of time to finish even a third of a pint.

A Mes rate. Draught at the Rake.
Rich and thick, very dark amber with an excellent and lasting beige head. Good looking beer. A glorious nose. Big, biiiig cheesy complex malt. Slight pig farm that REALLY makes it. The flavour fails to deliver what the aroma promised. Sooooo much bitter caramel malt and alcohol. All brawn and no finesse. Cheesy funk sorts it out a bit but it’s just totally over powering itself. Complex malt finish has excellent length but it’s just killed by the massiveness. Cut in half it would be lovely but that’s really not what this is about. Entertaining as hell but not as good as it could be.

(22oz. bottle) Pours a dark brown body with a small tan head. Aroma of pine, caramel, maple, raisins, plum, prune, toffee, and chocolate. Flavor of roasted malt, vanilla, pine, toffee, caramel, raisins, brown sugar, and chocolate. Extremely complex and would be nice to see how it matures with some age.

22oz bottle-pours a dissipating light brown head and black/dark brown color. Aroma is sweet dark fruit-cherry, dark malt-molasses, sugar cane. Taste is dark fruit-cherry, dark malt-molasses, sugar cane, earthy/metallic bitter. Some ashy comes in mid to late palate. Thanks jwc215 for sharing this one out.
