Rated at Hitas Beer Lounge - Platinum Edition. Dry and earthy body with some sugary sweet boozy notes and strawberry juice notes mixed in, toffee, figs and syrup. Quite unbalanced, feels more like a fruit beer with some booze mixed in.

Notes from 2/11/2009 look: 4 - smell: 4 - taste: 5 - feel: 3.5 - overall: 4 Black with brown highlights; half inch of Ovaltine head. Minimal lace. Super fragrant French vanilla coffee & creamer. Some dusty dark chocolate as well. Anything else gets buried. Headache inducing. The flavor gains dimensions with sharply charred marshmallows, vanilla, lactose, oatmeal, milder coffee notes, burnt sugar, & a slight rub of grainy malt. Actual roasted flavors are very minimal. Coffee & earthy greens represent whatever mild notions of bitterness that can fit into this already concentrated dosage of caffeine & sugar. Maybe not the best base stout, but I wouldn't know, since the added flavors are so dominant & delicious. Carbonation is on the lower side, & whether or not that's because I didn't attack on sight, it does give the illusion of some needed body. That whole growler wasn't a smart idea. My heart is racing, I'm yawning while my fingers are fretting all over the keyboard. I'm a jittery mess. Thanks to the ugly duckling for making me this way. :P

Shared with friends during our annual Christmas darts/beer night. Wild in smell and taste - super unique beer. Fun

2022 bottle drunk 12/27/24.
Wow, never seen this...got about 5 ounces before it just turned in to glop. And a majority of the bottle is solid. The beer looks like a chocolate milk shake.
Smells like oak, chocolates, salted caramel, grape and prune. Maybe a bit too much caramel. Not quite as much beer as I'd like. No booze.
Gloppy, gritty, chocolatey, like a smoothie Barleywine. Yep, a chocolate, salted, caramel pastry Barleywine. Pretty frickin bizarre! Guess I got the very end of the bottling line...

Warren draught, 12/24/24.
Clear, dark. Small, light tan head.
Raisin, dark chocolate, moderate roast and mild caramel. Lovely base malts with biscuity, not over-roasted barley. Clean, moderately fruity yeast.
Chewy with heavy dark chocolate. Coffee bean lingering alongside vanilla and mild caramel. Just a bit too roasty, I think, in flavor, though the texture is great. Lingering chocolate and mild dark fruit. Chewy, fruity, clean.

Warren draught, 12/24/24.
Clear medium amber-ruddy strawberry. No head.
Big, massive, rich tropical fruits with...coffee? Smells like that. Peppery, light roast fruitiness. Big, sticky, rich caramel-vanilla and long, juicy passion fruit. No booze.
Coffee and pepper, juicy, rich fruit and rich caramel and big citrus. Balanced acidity with spicy vanilla and lingering malt. No booze. Sweet but with excellent acidity. Should age nicely.

Warren draught, 12/24/24.
Clear, dark mahogany with deep ruby tints. Small, light tan head slowly settles at cover.
Oaky and with a bit of dried toffee and tart raisin. Vanilla and more woody notes without much in the way of big whiskey. Good dark fruit but I want more malt and whiskey and less oak tannin and fruit. Not boozey, maybe some warming.
Oaky and fruity with plum, currant, dark chocolate and light alcohol warmth. Dry, though still fairly malty. Just too much dry, tannic whiskey spice for me, though, ultimately. So much dark fruit. I'm keeping in mind this isn't a stout, so it's not unreasonable to be highly fruity, but I guess the whiskey is just a bit too dry and dominant for my tastes. Lingering heavy spice and light alcohol warmth.

Warren draught, 12/24/24.
Clear, dark auburn-dark male. Small, beige head immediately gone.
Chewy, rich, caramelized malts and dense molasses-raisin. But much maltier than fruity. Was expecting a big blast of sour mash bourbon but it's mild, tasteful. No booze. Caramel and vanilla lingering long.
Juicy malt almost with tons of sour mash bourbon in the flavor. Yep, that's JD! Not my favorite as it literally does have a sourness to it, but it works pretty well here with the huge caramel and vanilla of the malt monster that is this beer. It's even nicely attenuated. Lingering Jack, caramelized brown sugar, maple and molasses. No booze at all.

Warren draught, 12/24/24.
Clear, pale golden. No head.
Fruity, light tart, mellow Brett and biscuity wheat with a bit of lactic in there too. Clean and aromatic.
Chewy wheat, lots of lactic character and a touch of powdered sugar. Not very much classic Brett character in flavor. But there's a good texture and attenuation.

Bottle. Pours a dark brown hue with a tiny beige head. A big sweet nose, caramel, toffee. Rich, boozy syrup, essence of fruit, dark molasses. Woody.
