The aroma was mostly coffee and some rye. The taste was like a basic porter with some nice additions of stron coffee, some rye and a bit of more roasted malts. Pretty nice. sliffy (2012), Columbus, Ohio, USA

| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Apr 22, 2008 bottle: pours very dark with a medium quick tan head. aroma is very cocoa, but not much else, surprisingly very small amounts of caramel, no rye or roast. and no barrel aging at all. flavour is smooth and kind of light, some cocoa , light roast. again no rye adn really not much going on with this at all. quite disappointing, it does finish nice adn the best thing is the smoothness. drpimento (865), La Crosse, Wisconsin, USA
| 4.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 9/10 | 5/5 | 19/20 | Apr 22, 2008 Shazzam! Mmmmmmm.... Wow, killer beer. Poured with a fine creamy and reminiscent of angelfood candy. Full. rich, and very balanced aroma and flavor. Even maybe a little too subtle. Extremely drinkable. Fine quality. This could easily be served in a gourmet meal along side a sumptuous seared rib eye steak. The whiskey characteristics show up only in the highlights of the beer which is fine by me. Good beer to serve your significant other and prep em for some lust. heh heh. cheers. Having a draft of this at Bodega Brew Pub downtown La Crosse, Wis. USA Mrthirstyneck (341), Minnesota, USA

Alot going on but it works very smoothly. can’t taste the whiskey really blends very nicely. Grab some today it’s still out and about. I’ve got my stockpile secured! bierkoning (6094), La Tropica, Netherlands
| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Apr 21, 2008 Bottle from Ughsmash, thanks! Almost black and opague. Restricted aroma, something like Dutch ryebread. Thick fluid with ryebread, some tartness, notes of whiskey and licorice. Somewhat alcoholic aftertaste, but a delicious beer! pintsize (1042), Austin, Texas, USA

Thick black pour with a nice tan head - good head and lacing. Smell is roasted malt and chocolate. Flavor is very nice and balanced. Great roasted flavor with a nice vanilla and whiskey undertone. It is super yummy. Good smooth palate. Very drinkable and alcohol is masked entirely. holdenn (1444), Chicago, Illinois, USA
| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 5/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Apr 18, 2008 12oz bottle from Discount Liquors, Milwaukee. Pours a brown black with a creamy brown head that laces down the glass in horizontal lines. Nose is really nice. Lots of chocolate roast, grain, and dough. Sweet chocolate and dark fruit flavors that are balanced with charred burnt after taste. Touch of noticable alcohol and a little too much fruit in the flavor for my liking. But all around a really good beer.
