May 28, 2009 Bottle 372/450 from 2009. Pours an inky black with a substantial brown head. Powerful alcoholic nose with fresh coffee, dates, milk chocolate, and vanilla. Flavor is somewhat sweet and lactic with dried cherries, coffee, vanilla, and semi-sweet chocolate. This is a very smooth brew with a bitter aftertaste that cuts through the alcohol. While this could certainly stand another year or two in the bottle, it is still excellent...

May 27, 2009 This beer is mine at last!!!!! Pours a dark black, red tinge on the edge, no head whatsoever. The aroma is beautiful, a mix of fruits, raisins, slight roasted coffee., A surprisingly sweet aroma for this style. Th flavor follows the aroma, very sweet, raisins, plums, and a hint of rfosted coffee,. The roastiness suplies ther only bittering noticeable on the finish. The finish liners with sweet fruit, and a slight bitter coffee. The mouthfeel is medium thick, and silky. Beautiful beer overall.
