Oct 28, 2009 Pours deep black with nice tan colored head. Aroma is overwhelmingly butterscotch (Think Werther’s candy). Flavor follows suit, very sweet flavors of butterscotch and vanilla. A very good stout, but would rate much higher by me if the flavor and aroma where more subtle. Too sweet to drink more than a few ounces.

Oct 26, 2009 Pours a nice dark black, with no head, and appears a little thin. The aroma is amazing! Smells of vanilla and butterscotch from over a foot away. Aroma leads you astray though. Taste is very very overwhelming. Too much going on at once. As others have said, very cloying and very syrupy. Body is a bit thin. Aftertaste is better than the taste of the beer itself.

Oct 26, 2009 The appearance is typical for the style with a dark red brown color bordering on black with an average head for the style. The head is foamy and fizzy making it not quite right bu still nice. The aroma is probably the best I have ever encountered. It has the richest Creme Beulee I have ever encountered, maybe even more than the real thing. Outstanding! The taste is not as impressive but still quite good. It has cream, chocolate, coffee, caramel, molasses, toffee, and bitter hops. The bitter hops ruin what could possibly be one of the best combination of flavors in any beer. The mouthfeel is only average bordering on thin and not right for the style. The drinkability is seriously hurt by the astringent hops but this is a seriously good beer!

Oct 24, 2009 Updated: Dec 8, 2009750ml bottle poured into Red Wine glass (all snifters were in use!). Aroma is enormous with notes of taffy and vanilla. Nose is burnt and sweet followed by a big body of carmalized sugar and coffee. Finish is warm and malty with even more sugar. Dessert is a glass! This is one of the most heart warming beers I’ve ever tasted. Bought as a gift for my lovely girlfriend but might have to have a bottle all to myself.

Oct 24, 2009 (Draught) Almos black. Large tan coloured head. Roasted sugar and roasted malts in aroma. Full bodied and warming palate with medium carbonation. Roasted malts, roasted sugar, hops and bitterness in balanced taste. Liqorice and ligtly bitterness in aftertaste. Intial impression was really the one of crème brulée and the drinkin experience was an enjoyment.

Oct 23, 2009 22 oz. bottle. Colour... black with some translucent edges and no head. Nose... yup! That’s creme brulee! Replete with vanilla, custard and caramel. Palate... gently caressing CO2, burnt sugar, custard cream, turbinado, brown sugar, vanilla and a very long, coating finish! Very sweet, which will likely be a turn off for some folks, but I love it!

Oct 23, 2009 Notes from I believe the infamous site crash of Fall 08. What the shit is this? Aroma is soo much butterscotch and caramel. Flavor is similar but with a some vanilla extract added and a bit of hazelnut. Occasionally I think there is malt in there and I think I found some hops once. Just sooo overwhelming. More so than any beer I’ve ever had. So frickin cloying and syrupy.

Oct 23, 2009 Had a glass at the Manchester Pub in NYC. Aroma was huge, strong on vanilla and toffee light malts. Flavor was overwhelmingly sweet, strong notes of caramel and vanilla. Reminded me very much of cream soda. The beer had low carbonation, which made it seem more syrupy. Finish is super-sweet and lingering. Although I love big beers, I must admit that I found myself not completely enamoured with the prospect of drinking an entire glass of this stuff. But I did. It was an experience. I may have to try it again sometime.
