2007 Poured from bottle to pint glass.

A: Pours a very dark black, not surprised by the name. Small brown head with decent retention and leaving some lacing.

S: Smells of whiskey, molasses, chocolate. Strong smell.

T: Strong chocolate, vanilla, caramel and whiskey. There's a strong amount of molasses taste, which I'm guessing has come with the aging. Very delicious. I have two more so hopefully a couple years brings out more flavors.

M&D: Mouthfeel is medium-bodied, with good carbonation. Drinkability is alright, one is perfect for me since it's a little sticky and thick.
