CPLYFO 09. Bottle shared by Miketd!!! Pours a nice brown body with a good head, and some lace. Aroma is lots of sweet smooth nutty and caramel- bourbon- brown sugar, fruity esters, green raisin, plums, new wood- oak vanilla. Flavor is a light yeastiness fruits, lots of bourbo, toasted and nutty malts, hints of chocolate, with a dry light paper hint in the end with a bourbon heat coming through as it warms. Pretty good.

Bottle... C&P’sLYFO Throwdown... Pours dark brown with a medium-sized beige head. The aroma provides gobs of caramel and chocolate alongside lesser notes of licorice and light molasses. Medium to full-bodied and creamy with laid back carbonation. The flavor is of caramel, bourbon and cocoa. The bourbon complements rather than dominates. Very nice.

Bottle, courtesy miketd. This one pours a hazy, translucent dark brown color with a small, foamy, cream colored head. Spotty lacing marks the glass. The aroma is really nice and chocolaty, with heaps of toasted caramel and chewy nougat. Sour mash bourbon does what it does best, imparting its twangy, oaky barrel influence to the willing brown malts. Flavors show similar notes of dried dark cocoa, evaporated milk, dark caramel, and of course Kentucky bourbon. Everything is drawn together quite nicely. Medium-plus and smooth on the palate, the light alcohol warmth is close to what it should be, perhaps just a shade too hot. This reminds me a little bit of a poor man’s Dark Knight Returns. Damn nice beer.

Bottle from the Otown throwdown. miketd you rock. Nice brown pour wtih a tan colored head. Bourbon smacks your nose upon opening it and keep smacking your nose throughout. Some vanilla, oak and caramel matls are evident but as you drink it the bourbon just kicks ass. What a great beer to try.

C&PLYFOTD: Bottle, courtesy miketd. Dark brown pour, thick lacing and frothy head. Spicy nose, woodsy oak, vanilla and thick chocolate with a slight coffee must. Rich woodsy flavors, with tons of chocolate, caramel and lots of spices. Full and rich, very delicious, and could get better in the coming months.

Pours a dark brown, with a medium tan head. Smells of sweet caramel cream, bourbon, wood, and dark malts mixed together. the flavor was smooth and creamy as well, the bourbonis pretty bold in the flavor and very evident. i got alot of wood and dark malts blended nicely together up front, with a smooth bourboney finish. very interesting and tasty brew. I dug this one.

Bottle, shared at WeeHeavySDs 2000th rating party, with thanks to wetherel! Pours a deep dark reddish-brown with an off-white head. Big aroma, sour, sharp, and sweet - of juicy fruits, malt, pine, sugar, bourbon. Taste is quite sweet and sharp, of bourbon, malt, herbs, and sugar. Lingering sharp bourbon flavors. Different and very tasty.
