Aug 5, 2009 [BCTC 09] Poured an opaque black color, with a medium sized, tan head that left nice lacing on the glass. Aroma of burnt wood, roasted malts, strong coffee, vanilla bean, and a bit of coffee. Taste of more strong coffee, roasted malts, light smoke, dark chocolate, and light alcohol in the finish. Thanks John!

Jul 20, 2009 Bottle @ the Cuvee de Castleton release. Was thoroughly unimpressed with this beer. Perhaps should have been served colder, may give this another chance in the future.

Jul 20, 2009 Growler per Jason. Sampled while traveling at high speeds out onto Lake Michigan in an attempt to catch salmon with Jason and Dave. It was 4 AM on a Sunday. 4 AM exists on a Sunday? The smell of lake was in the air. It looked black/brown with an unknown colored head, but that’s because it was 4 AM. It smelled like good coffee and chocolate which was good, because it was 4 AM. Why am I drinking beer at 4 AM? I have no idea... Anyway, the flavor was quite good. Huge espresso and earthy oily coffee. It had a nice hop but I couldn’t determine which one. The palate was velvety and creamy. Alcohol was well hidden. I’ll have another...
