Nov 30, 2007 I got some of this from dra19 and from acertain, so to whichever one of you whose bottle I opened tonight I thank you! The pour was super dark brown with lighter brown hightlights on the edges. A tan, one-finger tall head popped up and provided a bit of lacing. The aroma was vanilla, cinnamon and booze. A pleasant whiskey barrel booze mind you, but it’s right there, not hiding from anyone. The flavor is chocolate and smoke initially with the whiskey and vanilla coming in on the backside. A mild and easy drinking mouthfeel. A great winter warmer. This beer is missing just the tiniest bit of something that would make it a world-class brew. With a touch more piney/floral hops this would be...well...a big old IS I suppose.

Nov 30, 2007 Dark brown with creamy head. So drinkable you can almost take out the strong part of an english strong ale. Medium malty body. Slightly sweet and a slight hop finish.

Nov 26, 2007 (Bottle 65 cl) Courtesy of boboski. Slightly hazy dark brown with a dense, creamy, beige and lacing head. Fat aroma of malt, fruit and dried fruits. Medium body with notes of dried fruit - raisins in particular. Lightly sweet yet with a somewhat dry and hoppy finish. Unusual. 201107

Nov 21, 2007 1 pt 6 fl oz bottle. Pours dark brown and with a reddish hue and a diminished light brown head. Mild/smooth chocolate to liqourice blended aroma and with a slight roasted note. Flavour holds a mild warming alcohol feel, a slight burning roasted malt note and a smooth chocolate note. Finish has the same in a continued fashion. Quite nice but not really great.

Nov 20, 2007 22 oz Bottle. Pours dark brown, much darker than expected. Aroma of vanilla and oak. Taste includes both of those, along with coffee and chocolate, and a noticeable but not overwhelming bourbon flavor. Excellent winter beer.
