Vintage 2015, slight loss of carbonation yields an anemic head, dark opaque ruby, caramelized sugar and smoke aromas, surprisingly zesty body, dark stone fruits, leather, tobacco, smoke, woody tannins, dry tannins and raisins on the finish

So smooth. Does not taste like 11 or 12%. I wonder if this is still the original barrel. It could be my taste buds, but I think it has lost a step.

Dark and smooth, very strong and forward flavor. Beautifully smooth finish. An always buy beer.

Rich, woody, and dry. A great brown ale. This one is 5 or 6 years old.

Aged 3 years! Sweet malt, vanilla, and brown sugar bourbon nose. Fluffy, full mouthfeel with great coating. Lovely long finish with lots of caramel flavor. ABV is well hidden. Such a loss that this one is discontinued!

Bottled in 01/2016, aged in bottle until 12/2023: still incredible, the smoky woodyness has softened with time. The sweetness is still present, rich, thick, malty, roasty. I may have over-aged this beer, it’s excellent when fresh, but I still love it.

On the enormous side of the ale spectrum. Plums, raisins, chocolate, bourbon in the aroma. Fabulously sweet taste with the oak kicking in for a smoothly dry finish--though less so on the dryness as the beverage warms.

$13.99 a pack. Woody, thick body. Wood finish. Cinnamon? Smoke? Vanilla arrives as this warms up. Lot going on here.

Continues to be a great beer. Buy it when you see it. I need more.

Not often I comment on beer but this held up very nice. Smooth, hides the booze, and that nice malt finish. Awesome beer thanks Mike

Bring in the big guns; This sasquatch of a beer has a nose similar to a Belgian dubbel with strong raisiny notes, a large helping of vanilla and oodles of molasses. Pours a beautiful opaque brown with a huge creamy dark brown head.
