4.59/5  rDev +13.9%
look: 4 | smell: 5 | taste: 4.5 | feel: 4.5 | overall: 4.5
Poured a nice dark brown with some light ruby highlights, a light thin ring of head.

Huge smell, sweet molasses, brown sugar and raisons to go along with a touch of cedar and oak.

Flavor is surprisingly smooth after the huge smell. A nice bit of toffee, molasses, chocolate, and dark fruits at first then a huge blast of juniper hops takes over leaving a long lasting lingering bit of pine and a touch of sweet alcohol.

Mouthfeel is thick and oily with a nice bit of carbonation zip and a ton of warmth.

Drinkablity is scary for a beer this big! The Dark horse site lists this beer at 15%, its almost hard to believe as easy as it is to drink.

2008 vintage; drank 11/5/15 @ Sheffield's.

Muddy brown/purple appearance.

Almost no khaki head; no lace.

Raisin, leather & plum notes in the nose.

Medium thick mouthfeel.

Raisin, plum & leather flavors up front; smooth caramel notes on the finish. Incredibly, no booze heat. This has aged into a complementary melange of strong flavors. Delicious!

Pour is dark copper with red notes and a thin light tan head. Nose is strong caramel, brown sugar, notes of apple skin and a hint of darker malt. Taste is more malt forward, a little bit more depth. Some apple skin sweetness with a hint of heat in the finish. Medium body with strong carbonation and a prickly feel.
