Pours a dark brown with a thin head with good retention and a wonderful aroma, with notes of alcohol and cherimoya. Yum yum, tastes like mincemeat in a glass, fruity and sweet. Nice bitter hops in the finish, more cherimoya, nice and resinous. Thick, syrupy body with good carbonation. There is so much beer in this beer! Thanks to Ughsmash for the secret Santa gift!

Jan 4, 2009 Blind Tasting.
Pitch black in the glass, with a minimal mahogany aura on the edges. Smells of beef jerky (its a manly, chuck norris kinda beer) maple and mesquite. Oily, boozy, and chocolatey with some red fruit character on the edges. Semi-sweet chocolate aftertaste. Clingy bitey palate.

Dec 30, 2008 12 oz. bottle - thanks to drewbeerme for this in a trade way back in April; a beautiful beer for sure as it pours oily black w/ long lasting 1/2" chocolate colored head; aromas of roasty coffee, milk chocolate, sweet candy and beef jerky; and some bacon off the empty bottle; drinks very dry with plenty of smoked meat; a little bit of wood too; texture is thin and uninteresting; nice aromas, but pretty blah in the flavor; after i drank this i wondered why i held out for so long, so maybe not one to age
