Oct 11, 2008 Aroma is bread, roasted coffee, chocolate. The head is creamy, light brown, mostly diminishing with good lacing. The color is dark dark brown with a reddish hue. The initial flavor is a little sour, a little bitter, then comes chocolate, roasted caramel coffee.

Oct 10, 2008 Bottle from Liquor Max in Loveland, CO. Very dark brown color (some garnet) with a fine, high beige head. Aromas of dark roast malt and chocolate? Also dark stone fruit. Medium plus body with near creamy carbonation. A mild ale partaking of some aspects of stout and porter - like I think I taste coffee. There’s a touch of wood. Finishes towards astringent, with very decent bitter to counteract the malt. Wood seems to bite a bit as time goes on.

Sep 29, 2008 A triumph. A masterpiece of oaky stout. Wonderfully smooth and creamy stout. Perhaps a bit thin tasting, like an english style, just a masterpiece.

Sep 28, 2008 Poured a nice deep ruby color with a fairly thin off-white head. Aroma was alcohol and caramel, with some malt undertones. Flavor was surprisingly mild. This was a very easy drinker, but the flavor profile was a bit limited.

Sep 28, 2008 Bottled. A deep red beer with a slight haze under a beige head. The aroma is sweet with notes of alcohol, over ripe fruit, and caramel, and so is the flavor.

Sep 27, 2008 22 oz bottle. Aroma is sweet, with hints of chocolate. Pours almost black with a very thin brown head. Flavor is fairly complex, chocolate, roasted malts, vanilla, and subtle undertones of oak. Alcohol is noticeable in the finish, but not in a negative way. There was also a slight metallic taste in the finish that made the experience a bit dissapointing.

Sep 25, 2008 Bottle. Poured a dark mahogany with a sparse beige head that quickly disappeared. Aroma of oak vanilla and chocolate. Flavor was chocolate, sweet malt and oak. Body was too weak for this beer, but otherwise it is a masterpiece.

Sep 15, 2008 22oz bottle. Pours deep brown with a small fizzy beige head, 0 lacing. Nose was big on chocolate, oak, dark fruits and maybe a bit of smoke. Flavor held a bit of booze, oak, and chocolate. A was not overly impressed with this brew after all the hype.
