Aug 23, 2008 Bottle. Aroma of vanilla, caramel, and butterscotch. Very dark brown, almost black, hue with a small off-white head that almost fully diminished and left some lace. Flavor has tones of caramel, vanilla, butterscotch, and Iced caramel frapachino. Palate is full bodied and oily soft. Bitter on the finish. Smells amazing and very interesting idea but it’s all just a little too much. But, what the hell, it’s good.

Aug 22, 2008 The Dan Journal #226. Tasted 8/11/08. 22oz bomber. Pitch black hue with a hazy body. Cream ring of head. Cinnamon and caramel aromas with sweet toffee aromas. Bailey’s and butterscotch and a touch coffee. Man, this is a sweet nose! Great nose! Full bodied with a nice sweet/bitter dichotomy. Lingering and super sticky! Mixed together with a drying alcohol finish. So much flavor, so quick! Long finish and a big palate. This is definitely for sharing.

Aug 22, 2008 Thee most aromatic, and unique smelling brew I’ve ever encountered. A little heavy on the palate, but with it’s deep hints of sweet vanilla, chocolate, and molasses on the nose, you expected that. It poured almost dark black, with a small white head that vanished rather quickly.
It’s taste of rich vanilla, caramel, and chocolate malt. But becomes bitter with some coffee and at the end, nicely finishing of the almost overly sweet tone.

Aug 22, 2008 Aroma is sticky and very sweet - molasses, vanilla, chocolate, a touch of cinnamon; smells like a candy store. Pours black with a near white head. Taste is just like the aroma plus butterscotch, a slight hoppy bitterness and a coffee finish. Very smooth, sweet, and creamy; alcohol is very well-hidden.

Aug 21, 2008 1/2 pint shared with Lubiere at the Empire Brewing Co., served in a small cocktail(?) glass. AU15/08.
App.: Very deep ruby with an off-white rim.
Aroma: HUGE gobs of vanilla, chocolate, creamy and lovely and sumptuous, dark rum, molasses, lives up to the name.
Palate: Full bodied, flat and syrupy.
Flav.: Vanilla, chocolate, cream/dairy notes, some light warm spices, dark rum; very sweet, quite alcoholic and moderately bitter with long, lingering coffee.
A huge dessert beer that would win over many non-beer drinkers.

Aug 20, 2008 3.6? Come on people. I cant image why anyone would give the aroma and palate of this brew anything but nearly perfect. Nose is sweet vanilla and coffee, sweet toffee malt, some fruit. Flavor is much of the same. Carbonation compliments this beer. Layers of flavor combinations on your palate throughout. Will probably age beautifully.
