Jul 9, 2007 Pours almost black. Scents of chocolate, caramel and alcohol are very strong. Taste is of creamy and bitter chocolate with lots of alcohol. Bitter finish.

Jul 7, 2007 Just an incredible drink. I absolutely love this one. Creamy, nurturing, lightly spiced, heavily chocolatey. Brown sugar, milk, .....light caramel maybe.

Jul 2, 2007 Had this on tap at Ashleys bar in Ann Arbor, MI. When I was drinking it, I couldn’t think of what style it would be. I guess English strong ale makes sense. It is a dark beer, although not pitch black. Smell is roasted malts, maybe some caramel. Taste is a nice blend, everything sort of comes together, roasty, hints of bourbon, milk, brown sugar. Very smooth. I could drink more of this stuff.

Jul 1, 2007 Thanks to Lowe1983 for this bottle. Deep molasses in color with a large, drk tan head. Chocolate, caramel, malts, brown sugar, roasted, vanilla, and milk. Flavor is milk chocolate, roasted malts, molasses, vanilla, and a little whiskey at the end. Finishes with bittersweet, smokey malts. Medium smooth body. Very enjoyable across the board. I’d have it again.

Jun 29, 2007 22 oz bottle. Pour dark, rich brown with a thin creamy withe head. Nose of sweet, roasted malt. Chocolate... both dark and milk. Bit of vanilla and dark cherries. Loads of roasted malt on the palate. Bourbon alcohol flavor comes slowly but is present. A tad leathery. Notes of vanilla and lactose. Fairly lush and silky mouthfeel.

Jun 26, 2007 Rating is a combination of bottle and tap (at the brewery) reviews. Pours a near black, rather thin pour with a nice tan head. Aroma of lactose, roasted malts, and hint of vanilla. Flavor is similar with nicely present smoky vanilla flavoris complementing the sweet lactose. Oak aging is noticeable, but very pleasant. I liked this brew, and would love to have this available on the West Coast.

Jun 24, 2007 thought it was a stout at first; pours almost black with thick, creamy consistency. flavors that dominate include vanilla, and caramel malts, along with coffee, chocolate and alcohol. surprisingly light and slightly bitter finish.

Jun 21, 2007 Pours very dark, almost black. Aroma is faint. Mouth feel is extremely thick and creamy. Strong vanilla flavor, some chocolate and malt, a bit of alcohol kick to it but not too bad considering the 9% ABV. Absolutely spectacular stuff.
