The color was dark black/brown. The head was thin, tan, and fizzy. The aroma was buttercream, butterscotch, cinnamon and other spices. The flavor was sweet, eggnog, butterscotch, cherry, and cream. The palate was very smooth and thick. The finish was sweet and spicy.

Dec 21, 2009 Bottle courtesy of thirdeye11. Deep ruby pour. Aroma is insane! Huge coffee roast with sweet whipped cream and loads of vanilla beans. To top it off it’s all been slowly roasted over a campfire. Freaken insane. Butterscotch on the nose but I’m certain it’s purposely added, and rightfully so. Flavor is exactly like it smells. So sweet, with butterscotch, chocolate, vanilla. Amazing, I could drink this all freaken day.

Dec 21, 2009 22 oz. bottle. Pours jet black body with small creme / beige colored head. Smell of burnt sugar, molasses, cream brulee basically. Taste is of sweet sugar / cream, vanilla, with roasted malts on the finish. Very nice and definitely a unique brew. Overall very sweet though - maybe one of the sweetest beers i’ve had in a long time. Slightly overpowering, though some darker, roastier things come through on the finish. Fun to drink one time, recommended, but not a session beer. Probably would not come back to it.

Dec 20, 2009 From bottle at Haket.
Dark brown with no head. Coconut dominate the aroma, with traces of burnt sugar. Sweet, sticky coconut, creme brulee, and toffee in flavour, with a littlle coffee in the end. Not much alcohol detected in this sweet, oily beer.

Dec 17, 2009 Bottle: Deep rich brown, thin light brown head, sudsy, spotty lacing. Oh my lord, that nose is amazing. Vanilla, toffee, mocha, coffee, caramel, cocoa, the list goes on. Smells like a fancy coffee. Soo good. Wow, on the tongue its a sweet vanilla and toffee experience. Lingering cocoa and coffee, with heaps of vanilla. Not even sure you can call this beer. Seems more of an alcholic coffee. Me like!

Dec 15, 2009 Sweet zombie jesus! This is one of the most impressive stouts ive evr had! Not only does it have all the deliciousness of an imperial stout is packed full with the flavours of a creme brulee. Dark black pour with a fluffy off white head. The scent sent me reeling; all the cocoa and roast maltiness you would expect, lots of good vanilla, and a shit-ton of carmelized sugar. The taste is so very similar, with the added notes of some dried fruits. Truly a fantastic beer.

Dec 15, 2009 Sampled at the ORF tasting. All I have to say is.... HOLY SH*T this stuff is good. The aroma is creme brulee, the taste is creme brulee, buttery smooth and sweet. Although this beer smells and tastes absolutely freakin incredible, I definitely would have trouble finishing an entire bottle. Its just too darn sweet. But for what it is, you can’t taste the alcohol at all and it literally tastes like you’re drinking dessert

Dec 14, 2009 Draft. Rattle N Hum, NYC. Deep brown body with a diminishing tan head. Yup, this is creme brulee, but with an underlying bitterness. Sweet aroma of vanilla, burnt sugar, cocoa. Hint of cream, caramel, toasted grain. The flavor is heavily sweet and lightly to moderately bitter. It finishes moderately to heavily sweet and moderately bitter. Medium to full body, velvety texture, moderate carbonation. An interesting beer. Most beers this sweet border on undrinkable, but this is an enjoyable dessert beer. Still, this is a beer to share, maybe with several people.
