2007.5.16 @ 20:20 I had this beer at a Beeradvocate festival. I could taste breakfast: sausage, maple syrup, coffee maybe? I couldn't drink a whole pint, but the 2 oz. taste was excellent. |

2008.3.23 @ 17:27 This beer pours black and is completely opaque. Two fingers of dark brown head develop on top of this brew with decent retention and some lacing. The aroma is beautiful. There is huge coffee in the nose, bitter dark chocolate, vanilla, and some caramel sweetness. Taste is equally as delicious as the aroma. There is a big bitter chocolate note, black coffee, dark roasted malts that are almost burnt. Some vanilla from the oak, and a slight bit of alcohol. I expect this beer will stand up well to some aging. Mouthfeel is full bodied, very thick and chewy. Carbonation is low, but very appropriate. The mouthfeel on this beer is perfect. It's exactly how I like my stouts. Drinkability is great. The amazing flavor of this beer makes for an easy consumption, however because the flavor is so strong and the alcohol is high it slows and limits the consumption. World class. Very happy I finally got some. |

2008.7.6 @ 20:44 Brewed with coffee and vanilla and aged in oak Bourbon barrels for over a year. Delicious and exquisite. As a surprising twist of fate, this beer starts off kinda harsh when colder, but gets much more pleasant as it warms. Founders recommendation of serving it at room temperature in a snifter is the only way to go. Very complex with hints of bourbon, vanilla, coffee, chocolate, toffee, caramel, maple, oak, and everything but the kitchen sink. Warming alcohol is abundant. Drinkability is moderate. I consumed it with much ease and pleasure, but the alcohol could probably get in the way for some. Definitely a sipper. This is a must try. Very tasty and flavorful. I wasn't sure at first; but it warmed on me, especially as it warmed. ;) |
