Wow, what a unique beer. You absolutely taste the barrel in this beer in more ways than one. Thick, super bold, super strong beer. Pours a black color and has a small brown foam head that doesn't last that long. Smells of wood furniture, in a good way. Taste has a sweetness to it. Has a smokey wood taste to it as well. Moderate taste of chocolate syrup.
For the price that they sell this beer for ( over $22 CAD on their website for 500ml) I knew there was going to be something different about it. There had to be for that kind of money.
This has to be one of the more intense beers I've ever had. I really got to take my time on this one.
Well what's with the 3.75 then? For me it's a little too good. Too rich, too complex.
A little too bold and strong for my tastes.
My favorite beers are ones that I can drink a few of over the course of a couple hours or more.
Some people will completely love this beer with all their hearts.
This beer is probably better for being a Christmas or Birthday beer to celebrate a special occasion ( or victory ) instead of drinking it on a random Wednesday in February by yourself, like I'm currently doing.
All in all, if you want a unique beer that might blow your cap off, then try Bring Out Your Dead.
It is very good, but not for drinking again and again all in a row..........unless you don't give a sht and just wanna get red face wasted lol.

Served at close to room temperature into a snifter. Brewery purchase.
Appearance - Black as night, a small half finger of deep brown head rests on top and fizzles away in a couple of minutes leaving just a small collar.
Smell - Molasses, treacle dark fruit, dark chocolate, marzipan. Complex aroma combination, leather, wood and grapes also making an appearance.
Taste - Molasses, treacle, plenty of plums and grapes giving sweetness. Figs and raisins. Some bitterness. Kind of all combines together to make for a delicious fruit square but in liquid form. Traces of wood and the flavors meld together wonderfully.
Mouthfeel - Super dupe smooth and velvety. Full bodied and low carbonation. A sipper and a refined one at that.
Overall - Great beer, but a touch subdued, wish the flavors were scaled up to a 9 rather than being a 7.5 in intensity. Otherwise near perfection.
