Aug 5, 2009 Enjoyed a 22oz bomber at Windy Corners. A rich dark brown color with substantial lush brown tan head. Aroma is subtle and intense all at the same time. Burnt coffee, caramel and vanillla bean are striking. Taste is of sweet caramel, caramelized sugar and deep dark chocolate. This is an exraordinarily rich beer. Truth in advertising; this is liquid creme brule. A bomber takes a table full of friends to enjoy. It is truly an after dinner dessert beer to round out an evening of fun.

Aug 4, 2009 650 ml bottle for $7.99 at Wine Warehouse, Charlottesville. Pours black with a small brown head. Nose is FULL of sweet caramel, malt, dark chocolate, vanilla, coffee, and toffee. Flavor is sweet caramel malts, dark chocolate, whipped cream, and burnt coffee. Finishes with a deep, dark chocolate bitterness. Wow.

Aug 4, 2009 Pour is black with a tan head. On the nose I get vanilla and butterscotch candy. The palate is intense butterscotch as well with a nice roasted coffee finish. This brew is smoking.

Aug 3, 2009 Southern Tier Crème Brûlée is a brownish black ale with a dense, rich beige head that leaves incredible lacing. It has a very strong vanilla aroma that fills the room. Wowza! It’s quite sweet with a touch of roastiness. It smells like crème brûlée. It’s full bodied and quite smooth with a reasonably clean finish. It’s quite sweet and vanilla is the dominant flavor. There’s caramelized sugar in the taste with a nice bitterness at the finish. It tastes like crème brûlée. It makes for an awesome dessert beer.

Aug 1, 2009 GEEZ, dessert anyone. The nose on this one is amazing. I dont know of any desserts that smelll this good. Pours a dark dark brown with a head that goes away pretty fast. A mild nuttiness and a type of creaminess that comes across like one of those fancy flavored coffee creamers, like hazelnut or something. Interesting is the best word that i can descrbe this. Not bad, but not one of my favorites from these guys

Aug 1, 2009 Very dark brown in the glass with a generic-looking head, and not much of it. Astounding aromas of chocolate, butterscotch and butter. Pleasantly dry on the palate and on the finish, with a burnt sugar caramel flavor. Tastes a tiny bit artificial. I’m not sure I need a bomber of this, but it’s a creamy, respectable beer if you take it slow.

Aug 1, 2009 22 oz bomber. I had this last year and (falsely) remembered it being dark brown to black in color, but it’s actually more of a medium brown with unexpected hints of red. If I could give this beer more than 10 points for aroma I would... this may be the best smelling beer I’ve ever had. Lots of carmel, vanilla, straight up sugar... it smells like melted dulce de leche ice cream, if you can imagine that. Not as thick in the mouth as the nose would lead you to believe, but still pretty heavy. Taste is everything described in the aroma, with a bit of an alcohol bite and something that reminds me of well water... iron? Rust? Not sure. Very roasty flavor. As a whole this brew is pretty delicious. I’m not an expert on cellaring, but it seems the flavors could meld a bit and this would be better with some time in the bottle.
