750 ml bottle provided by beastiefand2k. Pour is ruby orange, slightly hazed, with a one inch off white head. Nice lacing on the glass. Aroma of fusil alcohol, caramel honey sweetness. Some Vanilla notes. Nice nose. Taste is sharp alcohol, bright vanilla, brown sugar, caramel. Taste is not quite as pleasant as the nose, mostly the alcohol jumps out a lot more in the taste. Palate is medium, with sharp residual alcohol. Thanks for sharing this Eugene.

Growler courtesy of Butters on 12/09/2008. Clear dark brown body with a small creamy light brown head. Big roast and chocolate aroma with some toasty notes. More roast malt flavor, some chocolate, light coffee and a bit more toast with a dry bitter finish. Medium body with moderately low carbonation.

courtesy of our friendly tpd975. Pours dark brown with tan head. Aroma is loaded with coffee and oat. Taste, lots of coffee and malts with a light hoppy aftertaste. This one beer has coffee all over it. Very drinkable and enjoyable.

Another big thanks to tpd975 for bringing this tasty brew. Pours dark brown with mocha head. The aroma is big bold dark roasted coffee with burnt malts in the background. Smells like a cup o joe. The taste is much the same with a wave of carbonation bringing in instant dark roasted coffee followed by burnt malts. I enjoy the fairly high quality dark roasted coffee given it a rich taste.

Courtesy of tpd975. Thanks again, you rock!!!! Pours clear deep copper with tall rocky tan head. The mild aroma has deep sweet maltiness, some dark fruity esters and a muted pine hop note. Overall a mild aroma for the style. The taste is malt and pine hops before sweet sweet caramel malts and very dark fruity esters rise up and take over the flavor. The taste is pretty bold but lacks the full dark fruity esters and caramel depth of an English styled barleywine and lacks the hops to be an American or west coast version. So it is in the middle and tasting pretty darn nice.
