Sep 10, 2008 22 oz – Perfect Pour. Black, tan creamy head. Intense butterscotch and toasted vanilla bean aromas ride huge waves of creamy chocolate coffee and warm sugar cookies. Sweet rich caramel and bready vanilla flavors mingle with deep roasted chocolate and coffee tones throughout. Soft swirls of black currant round this off to near perfection. Full bodied, soft carbonation, bittersweet ending. This masterpiece makes for an incredible dessert beer. Just awesome…

Sep 10, 2008 Really what more can be said then the fact that this is a flawless recreation of creme brulee in beer form. A deep brown poor with lightly tinted head showed light bubbleing carbination in my snifter. the smell was grabbing me before I even got my nose close. toffee and buterscotch aroma that deserved a good minute of noseing to itself. And the taste makes this one of the best after dinner beers of all time. I still dont know how they are able to get that burnt sugar taste on the finnish. Beer pureists will hate this since it doesnt really taste like beer but I dont care it is amazeing. Also the palate is light enough for me to have had half a bottle. The 10% ABV just nudges this over the 4.0 mark.

Sep 10, 2008 Pours a dark brownish black with a creamy tan head. Aroma is rich with vanilla and slight undertones of chocolate and coffee. Vanilla aroma stays with the beer throughout. Flavor is rich with vanilla and there are some chocolate and coffee flavors. However the vanilla dominates the flavor. The finish on the palate is mouth coating and lingers after the swallow. Overall an enjoyable brew but could have been better balanced.

Sep 10, 2008 22 oz bottle shared at RBSG. Wow this is one crazy beer. Aromas of vanilla and custard. Real Creme Brulee flavors. I couldn’t drink a lot of it, but it was there. Soooooo sweet.

Sep 9, 2008 Bottle at a tasting; was really looking forward to trying this one. Dark brown in color with a light brown head. Aroma was strong, with vanilla and creme brulee. Flavor was of creme brulee and vanilla; flavor was a bit much and it was actually quite hot. Cloying. Hit the mark, but this might be better in moderation.

Sep 8, 2008 Thanks to Blake for bringing this over! Poured clear, deeper brown with a short-lived cap of tan head. The aroma was just decadent.. candied caramel, vanilla, and coffee all over with lesser notes of chocolate.. left me with a vanilla caramel cream candy impression. The flavor was sweet again, and unfortunately not as well composed as the aroma.. vanilla and caramel at the core, both amplified by alcohol warmth.. sweet and cloying at the finish, picking up some coffee.. tasty initially, but very hard to drink more than a few ounces of. Too sweet and rich on the palate from a beer perspective.. toning this down would provide a wonderful drink.
