Bottle, many thanks to Theydon_Bois at ChrisO. It pours very, very dark brown, with a thin beige head. The nose is caramel, sweet coffee, over-ripe blueberry, blackberry and dark fruit. The taste is sugary latte, roasted malt, coffee, some underlyign alcohol warmth, caramel, molasses and chocolate, with a sweet finish. Medium-full body and fine-moderate carbonation and slightly sticky mouth-feel. Not really my sort of thing....too sweet.

22oz bottle thanks to Phil
Appearance: Pours dark brown, black in glass, with a medium sized beige head and good lacing
Aroma: Dark fruit, roasted malt, sweet caramel and chocolate
Taste: Roasted malts, sweet caramel, dark fruit, some alcohols and some bitterness in the finish
This is a nice sipper beer, let it warm up. It is pretty sweet, but it balances out the alcohol.

Pour is a dark brown with a average tan head. Aroma is dark fruit with some molasses and brown sugar. Flavor is thick and sweet with a big dark fruit and toffee. Finish has some brown sugar and a lasting fig after the swallow. Alcohol is kinda there but for 15% this is no problem as long as its sipped slow. Very tasty and all things a American strong ale should be. I am always suprised that this brewer can put out a big ABV beer that coinisides with its anniversary. Only 5 more years till a 20% beer.
