Nov 24, 2007 Bottle provided by ClarkVV and shared with Tom and Brian: Mahogany hued with a small fading head and spotty lace. The aroma has notes of heavy biscuit and caramel malts, oxidation, leather. tobacco, marzipan, anise, plum, and an overall earthy nose.
The taste starts with a rich roasted malt and chocolate component balanced by a fruity twang and warming alcohol. Light spice and liquorice upon the finish, a bit vinous. The mouth feel is lush, oily, and warming upon the chest.
Man I really dig this and it is ready to be drank now. No need for anymore cellaring.

Aug 27, 2007 Updated: Aug 28, 2007Pours a dark amber colour with a small offwhite head . Aroma of dark fruits, molasses with hints of the 11.7 abv. Initial taste begins with a dark fruit with a slight sour overlay. Finishing with coffee and chocolate that warms the palate and makes the finish very entertaining. Good head retention and some of lacing of the glass. Very easy to drink, with thinner body than expected. Overall a true pleasure.

Aug 27, 2007 This beer pours a nice cloudy dark brown color, there is not much of a head to it though. It has a sweet aroma of fruit and coffee. as you drink it there is a bitter sweet flavor of mild fruits and coffee. The after taste is mild rasberry and toffee.

Aug 24, 2007 Bottle. Very dark brown pour with a nice tan lace of a head. Incredibly sweet aroma. Smell of fruit and chocolate. Very sweet tasting that hides the alcohol well. A job well done by Coastal Extreme.

reddish brown pour w/ a small thin kahki colored head, decent lacing & visible particulate. Big raspberry aroma hot alcohols and light coccoa. Palate is well coated and lightly creamy. Flavor is ltos of raspberry & coccoa, light carmels. Like a nice raspberry porter. Odd but good.

Aug 3, 2007 Thanks boboski for this gift! The aroma is rich with raspberries, blackberries, currants, and cocoa powder. The beer pours to a deep red body with a cream khaki colored head. The flavor is chocolate raspberry truffles and chocolate volcano cake. The flavor is unique and pretty complex. The palate is sweet, sticky, and medium bodied.

Aug 2, 2007 Thanks to Blake curtesy of boboski! Poured a deep, rather clear chocolatey copper with a short initial cap of off-white head.. light ring too. Aroma picked up a hefty does of chocolate and caramel maltage with buckets of raspberries and some substantial warming alcohols. Flavor was heavy on the molasses, brown sugar, and alcohol sugars.. blackberry and black currant accented by heavy alcohol, especially on the latter half.. some grainy sugars, and more of the raspberry throught the finish. Heavy on the palate, but slick at some times on the palate.. warm sugars and molasses and brown sugar were enjoyable on the warm finish. Very good stuff!
