Nov 1, 2009 bottle - Pours very dark brown with a tan head. The aroma is heavy on the bourbon with some roast malt underlying it. The flavor is also heavy on the bourbon. There’s roast malt and some chocolate notes under there too, but I thought the body was too light for all that bourbon. In that sense it has the same flaw as the beastie barrel stout. It’s alright but could be better.

Oct 28, 2009 12oz bottle from Orland Park Binny’s single rack. Pours very dark brown with small tan head. Aroma is bourbon, oak, vanilla, chocolate and sweet caramel. Flavor is roasted malt, chocolate, oak, vanilla and finishes with a little caramel sweetness. Barrel brings a nice complexity to the table. Not sign of booze really. Pretty balanced and nicely done BA porter.

Oct 1, 2009 12 oz. bottle at Lunar Brewing Co.. Poured a dark brown with some ruby tones showing through, a foamy, tan head and very good curtains and spots of clingy lacing. The aroma was mainly a pleasant, soft vanilla and nuttiness combo, with a hint of bourbon. The flavor was roasty, vanilla, bourbon, and just enough supportive hop bitterness. Good body and creamy on the tongue. A very respectable Porter.

12 oz bottle at Shallos in Indy. Appearance is a mildly lighter brown with no real head. Flavors and nose are vanilla, bourbon and roasted malts and some slight smoke. At first the bourbon is really nice but as the beer goes the bourbon begins to taste of a lower quality spirits. Mouth is slightly carbonated but a bit hot.
