Bottle. Thanks to Motortoddhead for the hookup! Pours a deep brownish black color with a minimal head. Aroma is hersheys syrup and almonds. Flavor is chocolate and bready malts, along with ripe toffee prune fruits. Earthy notes in here as well. Nice medium to full body. Cocoa finish. Alcohol is not noticeable at all, this stuff could creep up on you. I’m impressed, this is a solid beer.

Dec 21, 2009 22 oz bottle thanks to Ditmier. Pours a dark mahogany with a fizzy beige head. Aroma of chocolate, caramel, wood and a bit of sour cherry funk. The flavor is pretty much equal parts sweet malt, hop and roasty bitterness, and a tart sourness. Medium to full body with lively carbonation and a long finish. This is a very unique beer, thanks Eric for giving me the chance to try this.

Dec 20, 2009 GTMW. Pour was medium golden. Flavor was strong with sweet malt and a rich complexity of citrus hops. This was a nice Am. strong but I was expecting more. Still a great brew.

Dec 14, 2009 Sampled from 22 oz. bottle. Pours a dark amber/clear brown color with a small white head. Aroma is malts, chocolate, caramel, touches of fruit. Flavor is malts, dried fruits, touches of malts, touches of roast, oak character. Reminded me of the fantastic Palo Santo, which isn’t surprising since it’s the using the same barrels to age.

Dec 14, 2009 650 ml bottle. Dark amber body with a fine off-white head. Aroma is mild malty, chocolate, caramel and fruity. Flavor is sweet, smooth malty, dry fruit, floral, some alcohol and a very balanced bitterness. Quite robust and still smooth as silk with a well hidden and warming alcohol. Nice.
