Jun 23, 2009 Bottle shared by Dogbrick. Pours black with a thin light brown head. Malty aroma with chocolate, a hint of licorice and plenty of whiskey. Whiskey flavor up front with chocolate and a touch of licorice. Semi-bitter coffee finish. Still a bit hot, but tasty.

Jun 22, 2009 Bottle shared by punkrkr27, thanks man! Pours a pitch black with thin dark tan head. Aroma strong of alcohol, bourbon, chocolate, vanilla, and molasses. Flavor matches well, but is dominated by the alcohol for me. This needs to mellow, if you can get past the alcohol (not easy for me), it has some wonderful characteristics, like the coffee I didn’t gather in the aroma. I have a bottle of this I will be sitting on for at least 6 months to try again.

Jun 21, 2009 Shared at Kuhnhenn Summer Solstice. Poured into a snifter, black as night with a tan head. Aroma of light bourbon, oak, coffee, chocolate, and vanilla. Taste of toasty dark malt, bourbon, chocolate, and coffee. Rich mouthfeel, very nice stout. Worth $20 for a 750ml? I dunno about that, but pretty good.

Jun 10, 2009 750 Bottle from Buffalohead. Black pour with a big, dense, rocky head. Oak aroma comes through early, chocolate, coffee, and vanilla follow. Full body, softly carbonated, smooth and luxuriant. Molasses and burnt sugar sweetness is balanced with some dark roasted malt bitterness. Very nice.

Jun 7, 2009 Sampled during Deliriumfest’s Graduation tasting in Maplewood, MN and shared by Jamie. From a 750 ml bottle pours an opaque dark brown colored, nearly black, brew with a thin tan head that quickly dissipates to a thin film top. Aroma of toasted dark malt, a hint of bourbon, some coffee and plenty of dark chocolate. Taste is full bodied, nearly no carbonation, with flavors of toasted dark malt, chocolate, a hint of coffee and some sweet toffee. Finish is smooth with a toasted dark malt and chocolate aftertaste and a hint of bourbon.

Jun 6, 2009 750 ml bottle shared by Tmoney99. Pours a very dark brown/black color with a generous tan head. The aroma is dark chocolate over big roasted malt with more subtle notes of dark fruit, coffee, and alcohol. The flavor has a lot going on: big roasted malt, some sweetness, bourbon, vanilla, semi sweet chocolate, dark fruits, and wood. Full bodied with an oily viscous quality that has a smoothness as it goes down. All of this was just a bit aggressive and I would like to see what this is like a year or 3 down the road.
