Dec 23, 2008 Bottle shared at the hellbilly holiday tasting. Deep black body with a small creamy tan head. Dark roasted malt and coffee, ripe fruit and chocolate in the aroma. Flavor is the same with some warming alcohol and a hint of hops on the finish. Smooth and creamy on the palate. Very nice.

Dec 19, 2008 On draft nitro pour at Capones during the Black Friday 2008 event. The nitro pour obviously made this one super smooth and drinkable and just made this one really enjoyable. Flavor and aroma of the usual burnt malts, chocolate, coffee, espresso notes with more sweetness then I was expecting. I had the fortune of having this out of a growler and bottle within a few weeks of this sample and no matter the method this was one good beer.

Dec 5, 2008 On nitro at the brewery in Phoenixville. Black pour with thick, creamy head. Lots of chocolate and malt in the nose. The chocolate continues over the palate, a little bitter, but not too much. Super drinkable for a 9.7% brew.

Nov 28, 2008 Tap at Capone’s. Pours out black with a small lacing off white head. Aroma is of roasted malt, chocolate and some light bourbon notes. Complex taste with a nice smooth mouthfeel, roasted malt, baker’s chocolate, vanilla, oak and bourbon. No real notes of any alcohol and was very drinkable and smooth. Well done
