Had this one bottled in Stevens Point, Wisconsin. Thanks Slothgar! Very dark, brownish red pour with a thick, light brown head. Strong alcoholic nose of almond and sweet bread. Very strong, cherry and whiskey, malty. Alcoholic finish. Good, but a bit too strong for me.

Jul 13, 2008 Dark brown frothy pour with tan head and lace. Chocolate, cherries, abv and tartness on the nose. Abv chocolate and light cherries on the flavor. Full bodied with good carbonation. Very nice beer that changes alot as it warms.

Jul 6, 2008 Pours out black-ish, but more of a dark brown with some red when held to light. Head was a very light tan color and retained pretty well, leaving some lacing. Soft smell of cherries, roasty, some oak, a hint of vanilla. Nice smell, but not very strong. Taste starts out with some slightly tart cherries paired with some oakiness. It becomes slightly sour before bringing on more oak, and eventually some vanilla and bourbon with some roastiness in the finish. About medium carbonation with medium body, slightly dry in the finish. A good beer, no doubt, and a very well made version of a cherry stout, but I have to say I enjoy the masterpiece that is their Bourbon Barrel Stout, sans cherry, a whole lot more.

Jul 5, 2008 Dark reddish brown beer, with a minimal head - quite a tart aroma, with strong cherry and oak, and a mellow but present bourbon character - fairly tart and mildly acidic, with some light notes of chocolate and dough - very mild oak - subtle but spicy alcohol - much more tart than I expected, but decent.

Jun 29, 2008 Bottle courtesy of CaptainCougar. Aroma of cherry wood and bourbon with a brandy sweetness. Black body with tan head. Has the molasas, bourbon, sweet, cherry flavors. Normal flavors that make these souts so good. Easy on the palate witha sweet cherry taste lingers on palate. Thanks Tom.

Jun 20, 2008 Bottle. Pours a black body with some dark brown hues with very little head. Aroma is bourbon all the way. A viscous mouthfeel with an almost burning bourbon flavor. Huge mouth warming and some cherry chocolate and vanilla and woodiness mixed into the bunch. Very easy to drink. Wish i knew the abv on this one.
