Jul 21, 2009 Pours tar black with a small brown head. Good carbonation (it’s hard to see through the tar), little bit of lacing. Aroma is coffee, dark chocolate, and cherries. The taste is also full of dark chocolate and coffee but is nicely balanced by bitter hops. Good amount of alcohol, thick mouthfeel. Very good.

Jul 21, 2009 Pours a deep black with a small tight and long lasting head. Aroma is nutty with some molasses and some woodiness. The flavor is oaky and roasty with some espresso and a bit of chocolate, there is some plum and dark fruit, some alcohol shines through and makes this a very warming kind of a beer. Absolutely delicious. This stuff is very thick, big surprise!

Jul 20, 2009 Bottle. Black with a thin beige head. Aromas are dark, strong coffee with liquorice. Peppery with molasses and some smokiness. Smells dark. Flavours are dark chocolate and roast coffee with some woody, peppery notes. Oily and rich on the palate. Slick, in a good way.

Jul 20, 2009 Bottle @ the Cuvee de Castleton release. Oil like pour. Great flavor with aftertaste that is lasting but not offsetting. Roasted chocolate, coffee, malt, fruit and slight alcohol but great beer overall.

Jul 19, 2009 Shakeyfest 09. Thanks Andy! Aroma is a bit undistinct. Some alcohol character muddling things up, but it’s not overpowering at all or anything. Great roasted barley in the finish. Slight oak. Finish is excellent, good chocolate. Very smooth.
