Oaky and pretty foul. Super oaky. Hazy maroon without much head or lacing. Bitter and boozy like a lost your job drunk. Tap at Big hunt.

From Nov 2007
his one pours from 12oz bottle(bottled 091907) a near pitch black with some reddish hues and a small tannish head of foam that recedes to a fine broken layer half way through the session but it has some good lacing.
The smell is of caramel malt, vanilla, chocolate, and bourbon. It's nice.
The taste has all sorts of flavours going on. Lots of vanilla and bourbon and wood with helpings of chocolate, roasted malt, a slight citrus bitterness in the background and it finishes witha nice hot cocoa bitter bite but..it's smooth as all hell and it doesn't hurt that it's only 5.2%abv; it makes it sessionable as hell. lol Man, is this son of a gun drinkable and velvety smooth. Great fullish mouthfeel and it's lightly carbonated. I like this one a lot!! Lots of flavour, easy to drink, smooth, this has it all going on. I'd get this one again, no problem.

Sampled from a 12 oz brown bottle this beer poured a hazy bright golden color with a large foamy orange white head that lingered and left good lacing. The aroma was sweet and musty with honey, sugar and a faint vague herbal note. The flavor was sweet, tangy and bitter with elements of chalk, mustiness, bubblegum and a bit of medicine. Long musty finish. Moderately full bodied. Disappointing.
