Jun 8, 2005 A deep red beer with a disappearing orange head. The aroma is primarily of chocolate, but combined with hints of wood and bourbon. The flavor is quite roasted with notes of chocolate, prunes, wood, and bourbon, leading to a dry end. The alcohol gives it a lovely burn in the end. Lovely.

Sep 9, 2007 (Growler 64 oz) Courtesy of yespr. Opaque black with a small, light brown head. Sweetish vanilla and bourbon notes. Medium-bodied, sweetish roasted malt, oak, vanilla and very distinct bourbon. Slightly medicinal perhaps. Ends sweet without much bitterness but VERY hot and alcoholic. 070907

Jun 30, 2007 Updated: Sep 9, 2007RB #800. From tap at the brewpub, first run, not the Returns version. Pours dark black with a chocolate creamy head, beautiful. Aroma of bourbon, chocolate and coffee. Flavour is alcohol and raisins. Very dominant bourbon notes and quite unbalanced. Not my liking. 6-5-6-2-12
Blind tasting at sk8vikings porter / stout tasting, beer no 18, huge thanks to brewfiend for trading. This was the real Returns. Pours dark brown with brown rim from the lacing head. Aroma is chemical, burning alcohol. Slight chocolate malty toffee flavour but heavily interrupted by the alcohol note. The chemical note is mainly present in the aroma and not the flavour with quite mellow flavoured. 5-4-7-3-13
Scores are a mesh of the two tastings.

Mar 10, 2005 Very dark brown. Stinging alcohol aroma with hints of chocolate, vanilla, and bourbon. Overall sweet palate with plenty of bourbon and alcohol leading to a vanilla-accented finish. It’s not bad by any means, but the heat is a bit out of whack and I’m not a big fan of the way bourbon flavours blast their way through just about every beer they touch. It lacks the delicacy and style I want in a big brew (Yes, I ask for delicacy in big beer, like for example Lijian Yinjiu or Sam Adams Millenium or Deus)
