May 7, 2008 Dark brown. Burnt raisin - the classic impy nose. Some fudgey notes. Decent body, with some toasty notes and a hint of coffee. Pretty standard for the style.

Jun 15, 2007 Thank you Steve/Coldbrewky for this magnificent gift that came out of no where!! Customs had opened the box and were sloppy when putting the bottle back, so the swing-top had leaked. Normally I let beers that have travelled rest at least 14 days, but I didn’t dare to wait, so I had it the same day I got it - June 13. 2007 and it’s a vintage 2006. It pours pitch black and the head is small, but creamy and light brown. The aroma is smooth with notes of roasted malt, coffee, chocolate and light notes of wood. The flavour is incredibly smooth, creamy and delicious and has no trace of alcohol. It’s harmonic with light woody notes, coffee/espresso is the most dominant note in the complex flavour, and it develops all the way through. Towards the finish I get light notes of chocolate and the finish is very long and has a light, pleasant woody note. I wish I could have cellared this one a year or more - but I enjoyed it a lot!! 2331

Nov 5, 2009 A Mes rate. Bottle at LCRBM #5.
Standard but good black body and tan head looks. Grainy and fruity, some coffee bitterness and a truck load of American chocolate. Nice and roasty but a little too lactic for me. The barrel is barely there which is a good thing and the faint oaky hints are good. Decent but just not something I could get excited about.
