PrinceDarren (1), USA does not count | 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | May 3, 2008 22oz. bottle poured in a Duvel glass. Very dark in color with an oaky aroma. Silky smooth on the tongue. Coffee-like aftertaste. Magjayran (1379), Durham, North Carolina, USA
| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Apr 30, 2008 Pours a dark brown color with a very thin head. Mostly just film. Some bourbon in the aroma but it really just sits on top of what is essentially a strong porter with loads of roasty malt. All I get from the flavor are generic strong porter notes with just enough bourbon and oak to make this beer stand out a step from the crowd. Perfectly adequate.

| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Apr 27, 2008 22 oz bomber shared with the Fight Night Drinking Crew supplied by broncoman, thanks Darin. Pours deep brown/black with a small off white head. Very slight aroma, only slight notes of roastiness and perhaps a touch of vanilla. Medium bodied with average carbonation that is smooth and highly drinable. Flavor is stronger then the aroma with notes of oak, roastiness, vanilla and a touch of charcoal. This beer is dark and smooth much like the guy who supplied it. TheRealBastard (141), The-No, California, USA
| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Apr 22, 2008 Pours black with off-white head. Nose is roasted malt and coffee. The flavor is almost all coffee. There is some smoke and some chocolate coming through as well. This beer was decent, but nothing to get excited about. I’d recommend this. pineypower (1090), Pine Barrens, New Jersey, USA
| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 5/5 | 17/20 | Apr 20, 2008 Thanks to Darren for bringing this one to Dmac’s. Pours out black with a thin fading white head. Not much on the aroma, maybe a little sweetness and earth overall a rather weak aroma. Taste however makes up for the lack of aroma. Complex yet very smooth, nice earthy notes blend with some chocolate, roast and earthy oak flavors. Very creamy mouthfeel, and dangerously drinkable.

| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Apr 20, 2008 Poured dark brown/black with a thin head. Smell of oak, and roasted coffee and smoke. Very stout-like in aroma and flavor, not much like an ale. Taste was lightly sweet and bitter, with creamy palate. Good beer.
