Tastes of both with strong elements of baker’s cocoa and coffee. Not a huge beer, but smooth and well balanced. BrotherGrendel (591), San Diego, California, USA

| 4.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 18/20 | Feb 5, 2009 This beer was a great surprise from Weyerbacher. Thanks kiefdog for the share. Pours a deep brown/black with a slight khaki head. The aroma is booze, dark malt, vanilla, chocolate, and some hop character. Flavor is chocolate malt, vanilla, and a deep oaky/ whiskey character. Smooth as silk and goes down very easy at 8.2%. Amazing beer, hands down the best from Weyerbacher. VikingHammer (363), Lynnfield, Massachusetts, USA

Pours pitch black with a frothy, tan head that dissipated quickly but leaves a thin layer to the finish. Leaves decent lacing when swirled in the snifter. Nice subtle chocolaty aroma with hints of alcohol. Well balanced sweet malty flavor, some roasted malts, dark fruits and chocolate. Finishes dry with a nice warming. Full bodied. Incredibly smooth. Medium carbonation. Slipstream (768), USA

| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 16/20 | Jan 4, 2009 Tulip from bottle.
Pours a thick oily brown. Smells of espresso, dark chocolate, some vanilla and whiskey. Tan head with delicate lacing. Espresso hits the tongue, with dark chocolate, vanilla, some dark red fruits. Clingy chocolate in the aftertaste, with a smooth foam mouth feel. bdigital (590), Ft Wayne, Indiana, USA
| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Jan 3, 2009 Bottle...pitch black pour with a rocky tan head. Very dry, oaky nose on this with the usual suspects of dark fruits, dark malts and dark chocolate. What separates this is the woodsiness that imparts itself so wonderfully though. Full body, sticky and oily. Dark chocolate, black cherries and some vanilla bean noted in the flavor...finishes dry and woodsy.
