4.23/5  rDev -3.2%
look: 4 | smell: 4 | taste: 4.5 | feel: 4 | overall: 4

Poured from 12 oz can into NB globe glass. Dated 11/29/10 making it almost a year and a half old.

Pours thick and black like motor oil. A light beige head appears at the start but fades quickly to almost nothing. Low carbonation is evident. Light lacing.

Lots going on here. Dark chocolate, coffee, and roasted grains make up most of the aroma. Also present is burnt brown sugar, dark fruits, alcohol, earthy hops, and a tad of vanilla.

Similar to the aroma. Right up front are the earthy hops and roasted grains. This beer smooths out and everything blends together well. Rich milk chocolate, iced coffee, brown sugar, and vanilla are all there. Finishes with warming alcohol and sweetness.

Full body, low carbonation. Something you want to sip. Alcohol is there, not overbearingly so.

A great RIS overall. This beer has aged well thus far. Everything comes together really well and nothing takes over anything else. One of the better RIS's out there, although not my favorite.

4.04/5  rDev -7.6%
look: 4.25 | smell: 4 | taste: 4 | feel: 4.25 | overall: 4

Poured from can into Bruery tulip.

A - Midnight black. Motor oil, man. Pours a finger and a half chocolate brown head. Later swirling produces little froth.

S - Tons of dark chocolate. Caramel, molasses. Bourbon/alcohol comes in a bit but isn't forceful.

T -Like the smell, chocolate, molasses, burnt sugar comes through up front. Not too much of an alcohol burn but the taste is there. Delicious. Like a dessert.

M - Slightly viscous, creamy. Great carbonation. Awesome mouthfeel.

O - Just a great RIS. The alcohol is definitely there but not overwhelmingly so. Picked up a four pack and each time had it for "dessert". Gets even better as it warms up.
