Feb 25, 2007 MI BG Winter Fest. Pours a dark, cloudy mahogony color with a thin tan colored head. Aroma is caramel, oak, sweet malts. Flavor of Leather, oak, tobacco, caramel, and mild bourbon. Palate is silky smooth, medium-full bodied, mildly carbonated, sweet finish. Really good stuff from a place I’m continually disappointed in.

Oct 17, 2007 Swiped from WBF. Pours a dark brown with some ruby notes. The head is pretty nonexistent, thin light tan. The aroma is sweet, shows some caramel, bourbon, and smoky notes. The flavor is very rich, shows alcohol, caramel, bourbon, smoke. The palate is of a pretty average consistency, dry, and has low carbonation. Overall a fairly rich and enjoyable brew.

Jun 19, 2006 From 22oz Bottle. Pours a dark brown opaque color with a creamy layer of toasted tan head. Gentle aromas of coffee and freshly baked walnut brownies slowly drift to my nostrils. A hint of anise and a whiff of black cherry fruits round out the bouquet. Medium bodied mouthfeel with a somewhat creamy texture thats a sharp contrast to the tart toasted malts that greet the tongue. Expecting a malty chocolate flavor after appreciating the aroma, I am a bit taken aback by the tart oaky currant flavor waves that wash over my tongue. A few sips later and my senses settle, allowing my enjoyment to resume. The beer’s sour cherry flavors eventually give way to an oaky chocolate malt character that I expected from the aroma. Final smack of molasses dipped cranberries. Interesting brew overall - well crafted and makes me think, so kudos for that. Thanks, Tom!

May 19, 2008 Aroma of coffee, vanilla, smoke, spice and wood. Dark deep brown hue with a tan mostly diminishing head. Flavor is of smoke, spice, clove, molasses, and wood. Full bodied and oily soft. Thick and cloying. Ok but kind of an off spice flavor.

Dec 21, 2009 Bottle courtesy of thirdeye11. Dark brown to reddish pour. Nice chocolate smell with the spice of higher ABV. Cocoa flavoring with a slight tingle. Woody finish, very woody. I like this.

May 23, 2009 22oz bottle shared by TheCaptain. Thanks Mark. Very dark ruby red color with a creamy beige head. Huge gusts of oak and vanilla waft up from the glass. The taste has the aforementioned oak and vanilla along with some toffee and bourbon. Nicely balanced.
