Jun 28, 2008 bottle. Batch 1. This is one stronnnng beer. Very strong alcohol flavor. No elderberry noted here, just a ton of oak and bourbon. I like this beer, but 750ml’s of it may be too much.

Jun 11, 2008 750ml bottle courtesy of eaglefan538. 10/07. Sweet molasas and bourbon alcohol aroma. Black body with tan head and head hand the rice kripees snap krale pop going on. Flavor was very alcoholic with bourbon giving the body a warming effect. Sweet molasas licorice and a dry coco flavor mixed together made this a very complexing brew. Wow another good brew by CL.

May 31, 2008 Pours a dark brown with a slight tan head that falls to nothing. Nose is nice and spicy. Definite barrel aging character here. Can seriously grab it on the flavor as well. I have no idea, but it’s bourbon barrels? Nice smooth flavor from it, but robust enough to keep it at a very interesting level. Nice level of spice. Am I getting some coffee on there? Yes, I think I am. Feel has a good carbonation and the liquid is nice too. This is good. Really an amazing piece of work.

May 28, 2008 Thanks to bluemeow76 for bringing a bottle home from a trip (Batch #002). The beer pours brownish black with a medium and creamy beige head that has good staying power. Thin rings of lacing on the glass. Aroma of bourbon, cherries and dark malt. Rich, smooth body with an interesting vinous/woody character. Flavors of dark fruits, earthy malt, bittersweet chocolate and an undercurrent of alcohol. The finish is woody with a bourbon-soaked cherry aftertaste. Very good overall.

May 18, 2008 750 ml bottle courtesy of Matthew. Pours an burgundy-black color with a big tan head that lasts along time. The nose has a bit of berry, some whiskey, coffee and musty dust. The flavor is bold and complex with mixed berries, dark roasted malts, vanilla, and bourbon whiskey. The mouthfeel is full and creamy. The finish is long with lingering bourbon whiskey. Overall: This is an impressive big beer. Thanks a million matthew.
