Growlered at the brewery and pouring out deep brown with mahogany edges and tan head. The aroma is roasty, coffee, chicory, some sweet nuttiness and faint chili peppers. The taste begins both sweet with nuttiness and roasty with dark roasted coffee and dark roasted malts. Soon after notes of chicory and mild levels of chocolate and chili peppers emerge and bring a soothing complex balance to the taste. The dash of chocolate and faint chili pepper heat linger with dark roasted coffee on a smooth velvety carpet ride into the finish and after taste.

Bottle with many thanks to tpd975. Pours a thick dark brown with a massive head that slowly rises up and threatens to spill down the side of the glass. Quite a bit of hops and anise hit the nose and mix with pepper, cedar and chocolate. Flavor is fantastic as well. I really am thinking seriously about moving to Florida just to be closer to CC at this point, because the mix of cocoa and cedar is divine.

Uber rare 750mL shared by THE jdubFL, thanks again man you ROCK! Pours deep amber with nice dark tan head. The aroma is oak notes running into a solid whiskey breeze to go along with sweet notes of malts and nuttiness in the background. The taste feels creamy and velvety and oh so good. I get chocolate and chewy malts running into whiskey, oak and lingering sweetness.

Pours murky amber with deeply oxidized rusty edges and tan head. The aroma is bold and crafty and full of homer-istic nuances like cedar, some whiskey, vanilla, some smooth sweetly slick oaky goodness and a mild nuttiness in the background. The taste is . . . wow! I get a wave of rich sweet malts and nuttiness initially and then it blends into sweet whiskey and vanilla. Toward midway chocolate and nuttiness come to the front along with splintery cedar wedges. Whiskey booze, vanilla and molasses notes take over the flavor into the finish. Lots of complex stuff going on here in my glass. Fantastic mouth feel.

From bottle, RBSG08. Pours brown with a creamy off-white head. Dense malty and slight spiced aroma. Fruity and dense malty yet with a light yeasty touch in the flavour. Smooth yet also quite roasted and slight spiced. Rather sweet.
