Apr 10, 2009 22 oz bottle picked up at City Beer Store in San Fran. Pours black as motor oil with no head, just as advertised. Big aroma of booze, vanilla, chocolate, coffee, licorice and dark fruit. Big chocolate and vanilla flavor with a tad too much booziness. Probably would benefit from some aging, but still a very tasty beer.

Jun 22, 2007 Very dark brown body, dense tan head with some staying power, chocolate and smoke in the nose. Smoky, chocolatey, with some bourbon notes and moderate bitterness. A contemplative beer.

Jan 7, 2007 22oz Bottle- Pours a pitch black color, small light tan head. When I say pitch black I mean it, we are talking motor oil here. Smelling this is delicious the myriad of chocolate notes comes out nicely and is simple yet effective. Drinking this reminds me of the best stouts around. Stout? Yes, this tastes like a huge imperial stout.

Mar 7, 2008 Updated: Apr 6, 200922oz bottle: Oil can black pour with a thick, mocha head. The nose is pretty wild - the aroma ranges from coffee laden imperial stout to bitter strong ale to plummy doppelbock to molasses rich old ale. Wow - the barrel aging adds another layer of wood that brings everything together. The body is thick and viscous and starts bitter. Luscious notes of brownies, fresh coffee and barrel aging lead into a pleasant finish. Wow - this is one for the books. Originality is an understatement for this brewery.

Dec 18, 2006 Updated: Nov 7, 2007Okay, this is just a phenomenal beer. Black pour, thick short brown head, solid aroma of molasses, roasted malt, chocolate, and some hops. Strong taste of mostly the same, with leather, old wood, soy, and some alcohol in the finish. Very smooth.
