Pours dark brown with a finger of mocha head. Nose is bitter coffee, chocolate, coconut, and vanilla and oak barrel notes. Taste follows suit, with coffee overtaking and really becoming the center piece. Feel is crisp with a bitter finish. Decent.

Sweet, boozy nose: brown sugar, oak, bourbon, red grape, coconut, coffee, baker’s chocolate.

A touch sweeter on the palate. Drinks like a dessert liqueur. Bourbon, brown sugar, coconut, molasses; long aftertaste of coffee, oak, and a bit of heat. Really lovely and delicious, where each sip tastes better and better.

Sweet caramel malty, salted caramel mocha, hint of coconut, and hint of vanilla bourbon barrel nose on this one! Yum! Taste follows with a sweet and malty, vanilla coconut coffee finish. The coffee is balanced with a hint of brown sugar sweetness. The coconut is subtle here, but you can find it. As it warms, the bourbon heat starts to enter the conversation. Ha! I like this...this is fantastic!

2020 Vintage

Appearance: Clear dark-brown color with a modest-sized light beige head that quickly faded. This is a nice looking strong ale.

Smell: Moderate Bourbon, moderate coffee and moderate brown sugar/toffee aromas. The nose is nicely balance between those three elements.

Taste: The palate features Bourbon notes, coffee notes, brown sugar/toffee notes, and mild coconut notes just as the nose suggested. just like the nose the palate is nicely balanced. The beer starts off fairly sweet and finishes mildly sweet but the coffee and tannic barrel notes help to keep the sweetness at bay. The coconut came out more as the beer warmed. Very mild alcohol presence for a beer listed as 13.43 % ABV

Mouth-feel: Medium bodied with a generous level of carbonation. Nice mouthfeel for a Strong Ale.

Overall: I found this a very good beer. All of the different aspects, e.g. taste, smell all worked well together resulting in a very nice strong ale.

AMber-brown with a half inch beige head.

Nose: Coffee, almond, bourbon.

Taste: Coconut and bourbon dominate up front. Coffee is a bit more peripheral but it’s there and adds an interesting depth.

Feel: Medium body, medium carbonation.

by brentk56 from North Carolina

Appearance: Arrives dark but as the beer is consumed it reveals a clear burnt caramel color; the head lifts to a finger and leaves some streaky lace

Smell: Toffee, vanilla and coconut with a Bourbon tone; the coffee is apparent but not dominant

Taste: Rather sweet, with toffee, vanilla and coconut, up front; through the middle, the Bourbon adds a presence with the coffee kicking in after the swallow; the finish is a sweet blend of all the flavors

Mouthfeel: Full body with moderate carbonation

Overall: An exquisite blend of flavors but a tad too sweet for my palate

If Niagara Falls was made up of Stronger Than Fiction, Raul would move to The Empire State. I mean, this thing is thick, glorious, and luscious like Maureen O’Hara’s locks flowing in the wind - Raul is talking fire!

Drink it up and drink it good.

Nice ruby amber red color with rich notes of cherry, dark fruit, dried fruits melange, coconut, tobacco, oak barrel, chocolate, coffee, sweet rum, bourbon, vanilla, caramel, dark toffee, toasted bread, and molasses. Smooth on the palate, medium bodied with moderate low carbonation. Real nice mix of flavors that work well together.

Dark brown color with tan head. Aroma has sweet notes with dried fruits and brown sugar. Taste follows sweet with toffee, burnt sugar, caramel, toasted malts and light coffee bitterness on the finish. Full bodied with soft mouthfeel. Overall it's quite well balanced with well hidden ABV.
