Nov 28, 2009 Bottle. Pours a clear but very dark glowing vibrant wine red with a nice creamy frothy tan head. Aroma is full of oak, vanilla, rootbeer, sweet, paper, sugary, rich malty, lightly floral. Flavor follows, super oaky, vanilla, lightly boozy, malty, some spicy wood, without lots of depth like oaked founders beers, rootbeer sweetness, touch of bitterness. Medium bodied, fairly creamy, larger fizzy carbonation, not syrupy.

Nov 23, 2009 Bottle sample courtesy of friend Nick Farmer! Deep copper, and pours an off white cap that leaves some lace. Intense nose of vanilla, spices, wood, butterscotch, burnt sugars. Tastes very sweet, of oak, sugary vanilla, caramel, floral spices and brown sugar. Lots going on for sure. Sweet to the point of cloying, I found this tougher to drink than the Mephistopheles we had earlier. Oily, sugary finish with good bitterness right at the end. Good overall. Thanks Nick!

Nov 21, 2009 650 ml bottle. Pours bright copper in colour, decent head. Aroma and taste are strong, earthy hops, hint of oak, and some alchol pusing through. Big beer!
