Dec 16, 2007 On tap at the brewpub on 10/14/07: Pours an opaque black with a full-lacing froth of rich dark tan head. Sweet dark caramel, chocolate and bourbon nose is quite enticing. Body starts with good, rich viscosity for a sweet stout and low amounts of carbonation with a smooth, creamy dark chocolate and bourbon finish. Great balance and flavor with good drinkability.

Oct 28, 2007 Updated: Nov 1, 2007GABF 2007: Poured black with a beige head. Doughy aroma. The flavor had a light roasty, fruity and doughy. the barrel was fairly light.
@ brewpub and hand pulled. Black with a creamy tan head. First bourbon, mild but there, aroma followed by vanilla, hazelnuts and roasted malt. Roasty with a bourbon middle. Vanilla at the end. Light tartness. Medium body with a smooth mouthfeel.

does not count  Oct 21, 2007 Almost an espresso type creme, more than a head, with a rich amber brown color. Definite hints of cream and black pepper flavors of the Horsetooth Stout base, while the flavor of bourbon quietly dances on your tongue.

Oct 6, 2007 On tap at the pub. Poured a black color with an ample tan head that left great lacing on the glass. Aroma of roasted malt and sweet bourbon. Initial taste of roasted malts with some hints of chocolate that lead into vanilla and light bourbon spice notes. Slightly woody aftertaste. Alcohol comes out a bit as it warms. Nice, but I agree with Crosling that it could have used a bit longer in the barrel.
