Pours a dark brown with a solid inch of off white, tan head. Leaves some lace behind on the pint. Aroma of roasted malts, dark fruits, cherry, and alcohol. In the taste, very sweet with loads of brown sugar and molasses. Quite sweet, but it cuts the booze that one might expect from a 14%ABV beer. Light roasted malt flavor adds a porter like element. Hints of vanilla, brown sugar, and malt candies are all over this decadent brew. Coffee, malty sugars, caramel and a slight earthy hop. The hops are done for, this beer is sweet. It's really good actually, though just shy of cloying. Toasty and sweet, and quite good indeed. There is a medium bodied, velvety mouthfeel with low carbonation. Smooth and really hardly any alcohol burn. This is a fine strong ale, which really holds up well. A malt bomb, with just enough roast and strength to keep it interesting. I'd buy up a bottle of this if I came across it, I think 14 is peaking.

Just opened (a 22 oz. bomber) it after finding it in the back reaches of the beer cellar..... Did we wait too long????? We let is sit on the counter for a while after bringing it back up to refrigerator temperature. Recall having this for the first time on tap and thinking we can't drive after drinking this, but it's so-o-o-o-o-o-o good now. On to the review: Look: it looks like it should - a very dark beer with no hint of daylight, reminding me of Black Note or Dark Lord. Smell: a bit thin on this. Did the aging lose some smell? You can barely tell there is a smell/flavor anymore. Or am I just not sensitive enough for that? Taste: yummy malt, roasty flavor, some molasses, not bitte, no hop flavor, no boozy taste after all these years (when did we purchase this????). Very smooth/mellow, a sweetness in there, too. Minimal head - I was concerned about flatness after all these years but that was not an issue here. Feel: nothing special. Another roasty beer, nothing standing out here, love it going down, so that is my "feel". Overall, just glad I saw this and we enjoyed it!

From tasting notes. I picked up a few of these intending to age them, knowing that time would round out some of the big malty alcoholic hop flavors and pull them into something smoother. I couldn’t wait. It pours brilliant dark brown, producing a 1” frothy, tan foam collar that grips the side of the glass as it goes down. Bread, alcohol, nd dark dried fruit aromas rise for the glass. The palate throws a few elbows with big rich malt, alcohol, alcohol warming, dark dried fruit, bodacious hops and some definite wine like qualities. Its chewy, creamy, soft and rich.
