| 4.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 5/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Oct 15, 2009 Another winner. The darkness of the beer gives a strong aroma. coffee and slightly fruity, almost like raspberry like. palate is thin with a touch of oil. the taste is dark flavor of cocoa and coffee stout with a mild hint of oatmeal.
A winner, awesome. JoeTheYounger (293), California, USA

| 4.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 5/5 | 8/10 | 5/5 | 17/20 | Oct 11, 2009 My thanks to Skyview for sharing this beer. Black, and thick. Low carbonation. Only a little whiskey in the aroma. Lots of heavily roasted malt in the flavor, but complex also with appropriate whiskey, including vanilla and oak. Surprisingly red wine and tannins. Ordinarily I wouldn’t be into a beer like this, but it is so well done that I really like it. riversideAK (2792), Shoreline, Washington, USA
| 4.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 9/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Oct 10, 2009 A lot of bourbon on the nose. Lots of sweet vanilla, sweet chocolate, mocha, dark fruit. Just well done nose with lots of barrely sweetness. Black as fuck. No head, hella viscous, looking good. Chocolatey sweetness, dark fruit, barrel notes - vanilla, alcohol sugars - roasted notes are there in the finish. Lots of lingering sugars. Some dry woody notes. This is an awesome sit and sipper. Full bodied, lighter carbonation. Really good. after4ever (2822), Brier, Washington, USA
| 4.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 5/5 | 8/10 | 5/5 | 16/20 | Oct 10, 2009 22. thank you so much, suzy g! pours jet black with a scant but dense and creamy dark tan head. big sweet chocolate, vanilla, bourbon, and roast nose. thick creamy body, a little oily but not sticky. all the aromatics come back for the mid palate. wonderfully complex and drinkable. a little hot vodka twang or the numbers would climb even higher here.
