Dec 20, 2004 Thanks to marinaro500 for sharing this excellent beer. Red amber color in the snifter with an off-white oil slick for a head. The nose has hints of oak and alcohol that reminded me of my Mom’s Aquanet hairspray. Surprisingly easy to drink for the ABV. Vanilla, oak and dark fruit flavors all combine for a great flavor. I hope to see more of this beer. Very enjoyable big beer.

Jul 8, 2004 Very dark, opaque, anise all over with dark fruits, roasty, medium bodied, very drinkable and smooth. My wife says that this is probably something like Indiana Jones was drinking at the bar in one of those movies.

Apr 18, 2006 Draught at Delilah’s, Chicago. Faint aroma, although it is clear there is something alcoholic going on. Clear body that is very dark red. Beautiful, tan head. Excellent lace. Roasted malt flavor with a high alcohol profile and some Belgian qualities. Very nice, smooth, yummy finish. I am pleasantly surprised.

Dec 25, 2008 From a 22 oz bottle this poured very dark being almost black, with a small off-white head and light lacing. Nose of oak, chocolate and ripe fruit. Rich creamy mouthfeel. Flavor is complex with coffee, chocolate, rope plums, vanilla, and roasted malts. Long and slightly bitter finish. A very tasty and easy drinking dark beer.

Apr 15, 2005 Acquired in trade with iwantalambic. Poured a dark brownish color with an averaged sized off white head. Aromas of oak wood, smoke and coffee. Tastes of vanilla, light bourbon, and chocolate. Alcohol content well hidden. Call me a sucker for barrel aged beers, but I liked this one.

May 31, 2007 Courtesy of Kevster. Thanks, Kevin. Big oak aroma followed by chocolate malt, caramel, cooked brown sugar and hints of vanilla. Very nice. The body is dark brown with a wispy tan head. Fairly toasty/roasty flavor profile with lots of chocolate, vanilla, oak, coconut and caramel. Comes off very strong porterish. Tasty!

Feb 7, 2008 Dark Coca-Cola brown with a bit of beige head. Wonderful nose of toffee and chocolate. Lots of toffee. Some dried fruit, nuts, and trail mix aromas going on. The flavor is also a wonderful blend of chocolate cover toffee bits and dates or prunes. Medium body. Silky mouthfeel. Medium carbonation. Balanced finish. This is a really wonderfull beer that should be on you want list.
