May 28, 2008 This stuff is tasty. Pours a dark brown color with reddish highlights. Head is small to medium sized and is an off white color. Nose is booze, chocolate, caramel, yeast, and bread. Taste is very sweet with some caramel and sugar. The alcohol content is somewhat present but it makes the beer what it is. I enjoyed this one and the holographic label is pretty different as well.

May 28, 2008 nice malted/sweet aroma noted with very dry hint of alcohol, poured a very very dark brown with contrasting light head, wonderful fully carbonated taste with deep flavors of molasses with nice balance of sweetness and alcohol close to a barley wine flavor but very mild, palate with lasting sweetness with a little roasted nut lingering, wonderful drink.

May 26, 2008 Dark brown and clear with a nice head. Sweet smell of brown sugar, malts, and some molasses. Taste is pretty much the same as the smell. Thicker sort of body.

May 24, 2008 Pours a deep brown with tons of ruby/chestnut notes and a medium cream/bubbly off white head. Aroma of dark fruits, raisins, toffee, molasses, licorice, some vanilla and grains. Flavor of the same, very rich, lots of dark fruits, molasses, great texture, toffee and nuts.

May 20, 2008 12 oz. bottle in trade from stoutlover72. Served in my happy stein- poured semi transparent black, light-medium carbonation, waffs of an off tan head appeared and went. Aroma of licorice, figs, and some darkened malt. HIts the mouth with a medium body, malt is detectable, alot of stickiness around your mouth with every swallow, alcohol is very noticeable. Middle has the taste of overcooked maple syrup- not disheartening, but not appealing either- finish keeps going long after the swallow is history. Very interesting brew.

May 19, 2008 Bottle thanks to HogTownHarry. Poured jet black. Aroma was very curious with dominance in soy sauce and licorice. The flavour profile was very imperssive. Blackberries, licorice, plums and a bit of alcohol that finished off very nicely. Medium-thick mouthfeel. Wonderful beer! I look forward to drinking this again.

May 16, 2008 Found this bottled at World Market in St. Charles, Illinois. Clear but opaque dark reddish-brown pour with a thick, foamy persistant light tan head. Toasty and strong nose of cherry, plum, oak, sherry and milk chocolate. Amazingly strong flavor of coffee, especially late, raisins, cocoa and caramelly sweetness. Finishes very strong, with a note of alcohol. This is a keeper, although couldn’t drink too many of these!
