May 1, 2008 Bottle (750ml - green). Shared by blankboy with GregClow, jerc and tupalev. Near opaque ruby-black, large frothy tan head. Deep roast malt, big oak vanilla sweetness, dry and a bit musty, with raisin and latex. The taste ... dunno, a little thin and sour - like weak "off" generic red wine, not much bourbon/oak ... Colour me a little disappointed. Thin, somewhat flat mouthfeel, acidic and a little sour - hits the top/back of my palate and coats it with a weak vinous thing. Ehhh.

Apr 10, 2008 Pours out dark brown with a rocky grayish head. Aroma is of bourbon, roasted malt and oak. Taste is complex, bourbon, roasted malt, chocolate, earthy oak flavor and some barrel funkiness. Nice mouthfeel. I liked the rum better, but I’m a rum drinker, this was damn good though.

Mar 30, 2008 Tasted at the February Northern California Beer Tasting. This porter poured a deep black color from the bottle. Small to medium sized white foamy head. Aroma is chocolate, oak and bourbon. A medium to full bodied porter. Malts are chocolate and coffee, with a whole lot of bourbon and wine flavors. Interesting, but it could use some additional bottle aging, it seemed a little young, hot and unbalanced to me. Mouthfeel is full. Finish is clean. Aftertaste is slightly bitter with a hint of oak.

Mar 17, 2008 Great name. Good story. Feels like it should be a band name or a taunt from a WWF wrestler. Smoky, vanilla. Smooth. Dark brown. Definitely enjoyable.
