#300 <b>Courtesy mgumby10.</b> 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 <i>massive</i> 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!

Nov 26, 2008 Enjoyed on-tap at the brewpub. This is a refermented Dark Knight, and uses $250 bourbon bottles’ casks. Wine colour, virtually no head. Above-average mouthfeel. Complex bourbon lavours, a bit of oak, a sipper Great aroma from the quality bourbon. Served too cold,so much better as it warmed.

Oct 27, 2008 Draft at Barley Johns on 10-25-08. Poured black with a tan head. Massive boozy aroma with notes of malts, chocolate, coffee and cheap bourbon. Taste was a big boozy punch in the face, followed by big tastes of chocolate, coffee, wood, roasted malt, caramel, and vanilla. There was much more to this beer once the booziness subsided. Body was very thick, and stuck to the mouth, leaving a strong alcohol presence burning long after each sip. No carbonation to speak of This definitely one to sip on. An intense drinking experience that was well worth it.

Oct 26, 2008 Mix and wine & bourbon with a nice chocolate and roasted character. Finishes with smooth vanilla and almond. Too vinous.

Oct 26, 2008 Way too heavy and strong of alcohol. Also prominent bourbon whiskey flavor...so aroma and flavor is alcohol and whiskey...not a fan. Got slightly better as it warmed but not much.

Oct 26, 2008 Black with a thin tan head. A kick in the face with bourbon in the aroma. Creamy body with strong roasted malts and a lesser presence of the bourbon in the flavor. It’s a lot like a less carbonated Bourbon County Stout, but not as strong or thick. Pretty tasty, though it’s a bit like wine.
