Sep 19, 2009
On cask at the Steam Plant Grill in Spokane, owned by Coeur D’ Alene Brewing Company, brewed on site.
Pours pitch black with a nice tan head that lasted the entire pint. Aroma was very nice! Big vanilla up front with hints of bourbon and chocolate. Flavor is vanilla and bourbon up front with hints of chocolate and oak in the finish. This was the brew I enjoyed the most out of the CDL beers I tried this evening.

Dec 2, 2009 Tap @ Alehouse: Near black with a thin brown head. Aroma is pure sweet vanilla with a light amount of bourbon. Taste is a blend of vanilla, light char, espresso, and chocolate. Very minimal bourbon presence, really quite the right amount in this case. Slightly thin in the body. Still damn good.

Nov 24, 2009 Opaque, near black color with a thin lid of tan bubbles. Great aroma of bourbon vanilla. Some dark chocolate and roasted malt also in the nose. Flavors start with a sweet caramel and lead into roasted malt and dark chocolate. Middle fills with mild bourbon and and vanilla. Finish is roasty and a touch thin.

Aug 29, 2008 On tap at the brew pub. Saw the name and new I had to try this. Pours opaque black with medium creamy tan head. Aromas are vanilla and malt. Flavor of vanilla drowns out the bourbon. Overall, it was decent, but needs more complexity to become a good beer. I like the effort.

Aug 21, 2008 Taster - Coeur D’Alene Brewing - Coeur D’Alene, ID
Aroma – Lots of vanilla and oak aroma with some dark malts getting through.
Appearance – Dark black in color, thin head and clear.
Flavor – Huge vanilla flavor with a tad of the bourbon getting through. This was a nice novelty beer but the actual flavor is too enhanced with vanilla the other flavors have a hard time getting through.
Palate – Good Mouthfeel, nice texture with a Vanilla finish.
Overall – Nice beer the concept is awesome but it taste too extract to me and not the real product. I would love ot try one that was from the barrel with the real bourbon and vanilla.
