Jan 7, 2009 I was a tad worried that after having Older Viscosity, I’d be disappointed with this one. Nope. What a great beer! Dark as night pour, this one could have passed for a stout. Chocolately, roasty, a touch of fruityness, some noticeable bourbon notes and a hint of vanilla. Just enough bitterness to balance out the hugely rich flavor profile. Velvety, PERFECT mouthfeel. I love it and I need me some more...NEED ME SOME MORE.

Jan 7, 2009 Updated: Mar 29, 2009[Bottle] Pours pitch black with a soapy tan head that is hesitant to form. Aroma is some sweeter dark malts, roasted coffee, a little bourbon, oak, vanilla, and a hint of some darker fruit like blueberry maybe. Flavor is very roasty, lots of bitter chocolate, some bourbon, and oak. Alcohol is more evident in the flavor than the aroma. A touch of astringency the further I get into the brew, but overall very good.

Jan 2, 2009 22 oz bottle from Gabe. Pours a mocha head over a black opaque body.....nose of coffee, cocoa, indicating heavy roasted malts....tastes of heavy, thick hops with a big bitter finish....mouth feel is chewy sticky and very heavy....this is very similar to Russian Imperials in presentation and taste. I need to understand the concept and style of American Strong Ales better if indeed this is a separate category.

Jan 1, 2009 Crushed with Jakebra. Shit, thought this was a stout after I poured it. Lots of coffee and dark chocolate on the nose. Sure this isnt a stout? Flavor follows in a very nice way. Creamy, smooth mouthfeel. Dig it.

Dec 31, 2008 Tap: Dark brown, not see through, with a small off-white head. It has a strong, hoppy back bone. A bit of coffee flavors initially and then to leather and other dry tastes. It seemed to have a fairly thin feel. Another great brew to drink slowly. Extremely enjoyable.

Dec 28, 2008 Bottle shared by alexsdad06. Poured dark brown with a moderate frothy brown head that mostly lasted with excellent lacing. Heavy toasted chocolate, woody and coffee malt with a small alcohol aroma. Full body with a creamy texture. Heavy balanced toasted chocolate malt flavor with a heavy bittersweet finish of long duration. This is a standout beer.
