Mill, South Carolina, USA Jan 2, 2009 2006 bottle for the Big Beer series. Well this beer was aged nearly three full years before I made the decision to crack it and share it with Ross. Pours out like ink in a glass. The beer had little to no head, just a touch of deep brown lacing. Aroma is of deep roasted nuts, coffee, and dark chocolate. The the taste is bold and thick. This beer is very slick on the mouthfeel and has quite a body to it, still not as thick as some impy stouts i’ve had but nothing to mess around with for sure. A majority of the hops have faded away and give way to the chocolate and the roasted flavors instead, coffee to finish. Nice beer. aplusbreaks (330), , Colorado, USA Dec 29, 2008 22oz bottle thanks to Cletus. Pours dark brown, almost black with a mocha colored head.
