Oct 3, 2009 Tap @ Barcade. Pours dark with little to no head. Chocolate, oak, dark malts, light bourbon and berries all influence the flavor of this beer and allow for this complex aroma. Twelve percent seems very drinkable especially if its cold out.

Sep 4, 2009 750 ml bottle - batch #3; dark brown, clear, glowing red tints on the edge; tan head fades quickly; aromas of prunes, mushrooms, vanilla, oak; body is thin and a little boozy; sweet and rich and bourbon comes out more as it warms; some cherries and earthy notes too; quite complex with different fruits, the barrel, chocolate too; lots of bourbon, but never in a bad way; quite an amazing and unique brew overall

Aug 13, 2009 750ml bottle. Pours a deep coffee brown with a small beige ring. Nose of dark berry fruits, bourbon, nose was much more complex than I’m making it seem, just can’t quite put my finger on some of the aromas I was picking up. Flavor held some coffee along with light bourbon and some dried dark fruits. Very interesting combo of elderberries and bourbon.

Aug 10, 2009 Thanks to Beerlando for this one! Whiskey and oak on the nose with vanilla and sweet malts. Pours very dark brown almost black. Hints of dark fruit in the flavor with big oak and vanilla notes with some bouron flavor, hints of smoke and sweet chocolate. Excellent beer!

Aug 8, 2009 Shared by Retorp @ CCB BA Bolita release, batch number unsure, probably 3. Pours a dark brown with a slight ring of head, a bit of lacing. Nose of bourbon, vanilla, caramel, malts, toffee, hints of chocolate. Flavor just washes of dessert-like caramel, chocolate and vanilla, with a strong malt back bone, some hints of drak fruits, and bourbon and slight woody notes throughout, some alcohol is evident, but a nice boozey feel. Full mouthfeel, low carb, great sipper.
