Nov 23, 2009 Bouteille de 750 ml, au Bières et Bouffe. Arômes de malt très complexes (caramel brûlé, chocolat, pruneaux). Robe brune foncée, pas de mousse et effervescence faible. Très ronde en bouche, le malt généreux et sucré (caramel, mélasse, chocolat) est accompagné d’une touche fruitée et légèrement boisée. Très riche et décadente, l’alcool est peu apparent pour une bière aussi forte. Excellent !

Nov 21, 2009 7th September 2008. Opaque black beer. Slightly creamy, very distinct fruit from the elderberries. Lots of woody tones with the bourbon in the background. A hint of toasty malt in the finish. Not bitter but slighty dry. Very complex beer.

Oct 25, 2009 1/2 growler from New Beer Distributers in NYC, produces large bubbles in a one finger head that fades quickly leaving big bubbles ringing the glass, and abundant lacing. Killer aroma of bourbon, cherries, candied sour apple. Slightly dry taste of oak, with flavors of mellon, cherries, and other berries. Verges on being a sour style beer. Throat puckering dry aftertaste and definite wood on the palate. The alcohol stays hidden until you burp it. Man, I’m partial to these bourbon barrel aged beers.

Oct 7, 2009 Bottle from BFC... Dark brownish color, decent head... Strong nose of apples, bourbon, oak, dark fruits. Taste is nice... Smooth but warming, light apples, malt, oak, berries, spices and just the right touch of bourbon... Twelve percent really? Well hidden. Nice texture....really easy to drink. Overall a nice beer to sip on and watch the phillies kick ass in the postseason. Go Phillies! Thanks Jake! Get your self some...
