Historical Community Tasting Notes

Preserved from the RateBeer community archive (circa 2000–2018)

12oz bottle, 07 version. Every other time Ive tried this one its been fresh and way too boozy. First time trying a one-year. Pours black with a minimal off-white head. Aroma of bourbon, malt, dark fruit and chocolate. Now to taste: WOW! One year is all this beer needed. Dark fruit tartness up front, followed by a burst of chocolate. Nice bo
From bottle. Part of January Dayton Beer Tasting event. Pour nearly black with dark latte colored head. Aromas of dark chocolate and malt. A fine blend of flavors coat your mouth - roasted nuts, espresso, and cocoa. Long pleasing finish with the alcohol just peeking through a little. High quality at a great price. Good job Garrett.
UPDATED: DEC 9, 2008 Dark syrupy pour with a caramel colored head. Aroma is of chocolate, caramel, figs, raisins, and a bit of orange. Wonderful. Taste is first of chocolate, fruit and then finishes with a dry smoky coffee finish. Warming alcohol. Not a session beer. Great on a cold night next to a warm fire.
