May 3, 2009 Taste shared from a growler at DLD09 - I assume it was jkwalking, thanks a bunch man! Poured black with small tan head. Huge aroma of bourbon and chocolate, alcohol is noticeable right away. Flavor is in your face with bourbon and sweet chocolate malt, huge alcohol presence. Somewhat thinner than I expected on the mouthfeel, though I didn’t realize it was considered a porter. This would probably do well with age, it is a little over the top currently. Grateful to have tried it!

Apr 26, 2009 Thanks ygtbsm94 for sharing this growler. Pours black with a very minimal head. Aroma is coffee and booze. Flavor is coffee and a ton of alcohol. Gets tough to drink as it warms. Big and thick.

Apr 26, 2009 Shared at DLD ’09 (Munster, IN) and one of the beers I do not remember who shared it. It appears it must have jkwalking! Pours a big black body, fairly thick, with tan head that clings to the glass. Aromnas push some very nice bourbon with expected darker malts of coffee and chocolate and roast coming in well. Sweeter than expected though, pushing through some vanilla and fruits. Not as roasty, very palatable. Wood and vanilla come in stronger in the body, with light tobacco and roast showing up as well. This pushed more sweetness than usual. This was a very good brew. Cheers!

Apr 16, 2009 Growler thanks to jkwalking05. Dark brown body with excellent looking legs and great lacing for a growler beer. Sweet aroma, with notes of coffee, chocolate, cinnamon, sweet maple. Taste is sweet, with a nice hop presence, chocolate, coffee. Excellent duration.

Apr 12, 2009 Growler. Big thanks to jkwalking05 for bringing this (and thanks to BDR for hooking him up on such short notice). Pours with a small brown head over a dark brown body. Legs above the lace on the side of the glass. Aroma is strong of bourbon and chocolate fudge, with nail polish, and wood. Taste is bourbon, dark fruits, raisins, and chocolate. Syrupy mouthfeel and mouthcoating. Awesome, but not quite as good as Barrel Aged Decadence 2007.
