Oct 27, 2008 750ml bottle, Batch 2. Pours dark brown with a thin, fizzy tan head, specks of lace. Smells dark and malty sweet with some vanilla and some hints of dark fruit, sor dark fruit.

Batch 2
Poured into a tulip a very nice dark brown color, very nice carbonation, huge thick creamy tannish two-finger head, lots of nice thick creamy sticky lacing follows. The nose is malty, nice touch of vanilla, bourbon, figs, raisins, plums, and some caramel notes. The taste is sweet, malty, very nice touch of vanilla/bourbon, dark fruits/caramel. Full body, the alcohol is hidden very well with this brew. Very drinkable, this is my first CL brew, and hopefully not my last. This BSDA is very different then any other I’ve had in the past, the Bourbon Barrel Aged and stout like taste is AWESOME! Thanks Joe!

Oct 18, 2008 Batch 2 thanks to JB175. Great winter beer! Pours with a small, foamy, brown head and a nearly black, dark brown body. Aroma of chocolate, caramel, berries, bourbon (vanilla, oak and alcohol), a bit of coffee roast, and a vinous note. Taste is strong with berries, caramel, coffee in the finish and burboun notes to round it out. Sort of reminds me of a baby version of angel’s share (in the way that the barrel influnces this dark roasted beer). Long duration of 40-45 seconds. Instantly warming on the palate. Syrupy mouthfeel with light carbonation. Great brew!

Oct 12, 2008 What anamazing american stron ale. pours a dark nut brown with a thin tan head and leaves some nice streaks along the sides of the glass. the nose is nice and fruity with a bunch of esters popping in your nostrils. The flavor is full of fruit, like rasin, and prune mixed with a chocolate vanilla blend finished with a nice bitter spice. The impression that isleft on the palate is amazing but the carbonation is a little low. Overall it is an awesome brew and great to sip on.
