... and then a bottle of Kaggen came in front of me. Gotta love those grand tastings. Poured an opaque brown/black. Very stable tan head. Nose... sweet maltiness, chocolate, coffee, yeast, some alcohol. Superbly balanced taste. Roasty, smokey maltiness... woody, tannine. Liquourish. Just lovely, but still not my favorite beer.

Jul 7, 2008 Updated: May 17, 200906 version. Thanks to hopscotch and the person who wished to be nameless for samples. Black pour with a small tan head. Aroma was coffee, caramel, chocolate, anise, and maple syrup. Burnt coffee flavors, anise, chocolate, roasted malt, peat/bog, as well. Full bodied finish with sharp carbonation. Finish was quite long and complex but man this beer is flawed for the score. You’re kidding yourself if you gave it a 5, I’m sorry.

Jul 5, 2008 Updated: Jul 17, 20082006 Version:
Black with a tan head, spotty lacing; head recedes to a ring around the glass. Chocolate, roasty coffee, graham cracker, and some ash. Taste is roasty, maple, molasses, vanilla, and seemed to have a fair amount of earthy hops too. Medium carbonation and medium body. Pretty good beer, but not really the amazing beer it’s made out to be. Thanks to pepsican for sharing. I’d be interested in trying this again, but not for the price this commands in trades.

Jul 4, 2008 Rating # 1100!! Thanx to Hopscotch for sharing this at Gumby is a Baller - Merritt Island Spring Gangsta Fling and Bling.Sweet lord this smells and looks wonderful!! The pour is a tar color with virtually no head. The nose was chocolaty, bourbon, smoke,vanilla and wood. Flavors are a popping. Chocolate,bourbon, wood,espresso, vanilla,and some dark fruit.A well balanced delight with a creamy mouthfeel. This was warming going down and finished warm.Thank you Eric!!

Jun 11, 2008 Updated: Mar 3, 2009Thank you BrianK! Pours a rick dark lurking black body. Aroma is oak, bourbon and rich maple syrup the whole nose through. The flavors are explosive and everything ive ever wanted in a stout. Bourbon, chocolate, oak, and booziness. Bakers chocolate, vanilla, charleston chew, and more oaky bourbon chocolate goodness. This is the best stout ive ever had. Im never quick to rate a beer so highly my first time having it, but mother of god this is flawless.

Jun 9, 2008 Opened for my 25th birthday. I’m a fan. Smells incredible. I really like the was this turned out. Very smoothe, oaky, with hints of vanilla. Everything came together quite nicely. I love it.

May 20, 2008 Time to start on the European backlog. Courtesy of Reakt. Thanks! I don’t know why I didn’t take notes on my phone, I should have, but I just wanted to enjoy the beer without thinking too much. If someone wants to share another one with me so I can take decent notes, I won’t mind. So from very hazy memory.... Aroma of chocolate and caramel, seemed a little hot even with some years on it. Beautiful palate. Only the third best beer I had that night however.
