On tap at The Beer Junction, pours black with a small tan head. Aroma brings out light cocoa, some perfume and medium roast. Flavour is very harsh, with lots of perfumey notes from the oak chips, booze, and roasted malt. This is harsh and boozy, certainly due to the oak chips. It's good, but overbearingly abrasive.

Sampled on draft at Tapped this beer poured a black color with a large foamy dark brown head that lingered and left good lacing. The aroma was toasty with cocoa, marshmallow, vanilla, anise, cola and red wine. The flavor was bitter and roasty with marshmallow, cocoa, red wine, anise, vanilla and touches of alcohol and smoke. Very long finish with growing smokiness. Moderately full bodied.
