Dec 7, 2009 New batch sampled at the 2009 Pizza Port Strong Ale fest. Pours a deep murky caramel color with a small off white ring. Nose was bursting with vanilla, caramel, toffee and bourbon. Flavor held tons of bourbon flavor but not really boozy for being 14.1%. Got a little too sweet on the finish to be able to palate much more than a snifter. Great stuff overall.

Mar 25, 2009 2005 Bottle. Overall it had some good qualities of a BW but I feel past its prime. Sweet and oak with some vanilla but also some wet dog and cardboard. Some odd bitterness and dry too. Some bourbon shines through but any alcohol is well hidden. Not so great now, most likely better fresh or with one year on it.

Mar 15, 2009 375ml bottle shared by suzygreenberg. Pours a deep amber brown with an white head. Nose is sweet and bready maltiness. Hints of caramel, prune, oak and a touch of whiskey. Taste is has the flavors picked up from the nose with low carbonation and pretty smooth given the ABV. Thanks Ben!
