We hand smoke 60 pounds of of malt over cherry wood soaked in glenlivet, cognac and cherry juice that lends wonderful smoked toffee and cherry notes both to the palate and the nose and a warm bitter sweet finish. With over 1,700 pounds of malt and 65 pounds of hops make this a truly epic ale. The 2006 vintage is 13.5% abv.

Sampled at the Noogfest High Five. Series #4 238. Nice brown pour with fair tan head. Sweet, alcohol, brown sugar. Tasty brew. But this label art is what truly shines on this one. Great label.

22oz bottle. once again from todd....i echo the same sentiments as andrew below. i thought i had entered this rating but apparently not.... sweet dark fruit, tofee, and vanilla flavors. carbonation was a little prickly but it maintained a smooth profile overall. a little bit of added cherry as well. didn’t really detect much of a hop presence. this might be up your alley if you’re into a sweet, malty, and strong american ale.

Sampled courtesy of a nice guy at the 2009 Stone Sour Fest. Looking over other ratings that would be Floydster, thanks man! Pours a nice brown with a thin light brown head. Very malty beer, perhaps even maltier compared to the days sour drinks. A real nice oakiness with a solid caramel driving force. Nice beer, I’m glad I finally figured out the correct name for the rating I had wrote down.

On tap at 2009 Stone Sour Fest. Huge foamy head. #199/200. Some oxidation. Very dark red-brown color. Very sweet. Dryish illusion from all the carbonation. Lots of burn.
