Aug 26, 2007 Draft at Barley John’s, August ’07. Pitch black body with a nice chococlate head. Bourbon dominates the aroma with hints of cocoa and malts. Solid medium body mouthfeel with quality bourbon flavors mixed with coffee and chocolate. Strangly sweet, but good. Smooth bourbon-like finish with some alcohol aftertaste.

Aug 26, 2007 #300 Courtesy mgumby10. Thanks Mike! Growler. Body appears black at first glance, but further inspection yields a deep, dark mahogany color. A small, bubbly tan rim with a thin film crowns the top. Virtually no lacing noted, save for some sudsy bubbles that quickly rejoined the body. The aroma is massive bourbon, with vanilla, chocolate, and some caramel malt. The vanilla, chocolate and bourbon really play well off of one another and make this brew smell fantastic. Likewise for the flavor, which is surprisingly sweet. Its literally almost like bourbon dipped candy. The body is substantial, with a viscous, almost chewy texture. Smooth, sweet finish with a little alcohol heat that lingers. Awesome brew....thanks again Mike!

Aug 25, 2007 Courtesy mgumby. Pours a completely opaque black, intense and formidable. Aroma is a full on whisky blast. Wisps of smoke and vanilla, with a dark chocolate back note coming on as well. The flavor is as intense as I had hoped and expected. Thick and sweeter than I had anticipated, with a nice roasted bitterness. Alcohol is very evident, but oddly works.This is a big, brutish beer. Awesome.

Aug 24, 2007 Courtesy footbalm! The Dark Knight. Growler. Pours pitch black with a small swirly light brown head. ooks thick as hell. Big whiskey and vanilla aromas flow off the top, some creamy chocolate and mild roast as well. Smells great. The taste is surprisingly pretty sweet, Alot of some sweet molasses, dark malts, and syrupy textures, along with big alcohol and whiskey monsterness. I get alot of heat left over on the palate. Other flavors of sweet chocolate and raisins are evident as well, all rolled up inside the whiskey. The finish was pretty sweet, with an oily mouthfeel. The aftertaste was pretty hot and a litle roasty. Full flavored and big alcohol is the epitomy of this brew. Thanks again Eric for hooking me up with this brew!

Aug 22, 2007 Probaly the best surprise of the Great Taste Festivalaroma was a massive,intense chocolate and bourbon aroma, you realized you had just pulled the pin on a gernade, taste was so unique,because despite having a couple barrel aged brews already, the taste displayed an amazing clear wonderful bourbon and chocolate,malty taste,so potent,yet such a variety of flavor. Probaly the best new brew I tasted that day.

Aug 21, 2007 On Tap at Great Taste. Dark midnight color. Smell of bourbon, chocolate, sweet caramel and more bourbon. Brewblackhole called it Jim Beam lite. The taste was pure bourbon with some vanilla, oak, chocolate and minor coffee. Again the bourbon was so stong but it tasted great.
