May 25, 2008 Batch #2 bottle: Pours a viscous opaque with a stringy-lacing dark tan head. Sweet dark caramel and chocolate nose has good complex vanilla and oaky bourbon character with great balance. Body starts fairly full and sweet with a nice sticky dark caramel flavor along with some slightly warming oaky bourbon. Pretty smooth and enjoyable. A nice barrel-aged imperial stout, but could be a little fuller.
