Feb 22, 2009 Rich black body adorned with a brown crown. Subdued oak aromatics waft from the glass, intermingling with vanilla, chocolate and delightful doses of roasty bourbon. Incredibly well-balanced for such a puissant brew. Rich chocolate flavors with dizzying, fuzzy esters, touches of oak, bourbon, and vanillin. Complex and roasty. Superbly integrated. Love it!

Feb 22, 2009 750ml bottle, with thanks to beastiefan2k for the hookup! Pours a nice dark black with a large foamy darker tan head. Aroma is rich milk chocolate, vanilla, oak, espresso; a nicely blended nose. Flavor is more milk chocolate, espresso, vanilla, oak, and light bourbon. Overall this is a nice barrel aged IS but nothing that makes it a real standout, thanks again Eugene!

Feb 19, 2009 Thanks to mgumby and bconley for sharing their bottles. Pours black. Aroma is pretty hot. Lots of alcohol and chocolate. Flavor isn’t nearly as strong as the smell. Flavor is mellow and filled with chocolate. Hops, wood and bourbon also come through. Very good, and complex, flavor.

Feb 17, 2009 The aroma, when cold, is very ether-like. Pours black with a thin, brown head that cascades after the initial pour. Nose is a strong cigar like malt flavor with lots of bourbon flavor. Lots of coffee, oak and vanilla notes in this beer. Finishes dry and clean.

Feb 17, 2009 Bottle. Beautiful looking beer. pours motor oil black with a huge frothy light brown head. Excellent lacing on a tulip glass. Aromas of chocolate, coffee, caramel,alcohol and some burnt malts. Medium bodied that sometime appeared thin in the mouth feel. Astringent finish was of average duration. Sweet to a light bitterness. Overall a nice beer.
